7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

The salary could be better, travelling into the city is very expensive, as well as this our work isn't easy at all, we are heavily relied on by the business and often stay well past working hours to ensure our work is completed, this extended amount of time at work and stressful work load could and should be compensated with a better pay package.

2/10

there are opportunities to volunteer, loads of social events and therefore the socials outside of work are great, if someone wanted to they could really engage with the UBS global world

good employer

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to UBS?

to conduct thorough research in the area/division they would like to go into and that they are expected to work long and hard to thrive in the business, it may be tough and at points may seem not worth it, but stick through and things will get better
