A rewarding career so far with stints in Finance, HR and Risk

Business Outlook

Pros

Internal mobility is one of the best reasons to come and stay at UBS. I"ve moved around quite a bit and seen my compensation grow exponentially, even through the various financial crises. I've lived in London for a couple years and have traveled to Singapore and Zurich during my time with UBS.

Cons

Swiss culture/mindset is very different than the US, as is the wealth management culture (incl. WMA) vs. the investment bank. This can be incredibly frustrating.
