I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Genf)
Interview
Standard procedure online form and personal interview 4 weeks later. No extraordinary documents had to be submitted and when it came to interview time and place they were very flexible. In particular the interviews were more conversational with a large portion involving personal fit.

Question 1
Why should we chose you and not anyone else? (Only standard questions)
One online zoom call with PWM advisor and associate. Mostly behavioral and market questions - be prepared for some some scenario analysis (ex: if a client won the lottery for $50,000,000 - how you invest it and what is the breakdown across asset classes).
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
Mostly behavioral questions and one question about current events. There were about seven questions in total. The whole hirevue took me about 30 minutes to complete. It is not very difficult to prepare for.
