I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in May 2011
Interview
Went to the NY offices and had four 30 minute interviews with a couple of prime brokers, a client relations representative and the director of equities. Pretty much ran through my resume and asked me about my background and why UBS and why equities. Some questions included how would you choose to invest $10 million right now and what is something you want us to know that is not on your resume. One woman actually started asking some advanced statistics questions and asked me to work it out for her, which was difficult. Other than that, it was a pretty standard interview that just entailed me going through my resume and experience. The people were very friendly and did not grill me at all like in some other interviews. Just be able to speak about UBS and the position that you are applying for so that you can make a good impression on the interviewers.
