Equity Sales Trading Apprentice Review

I work in equity sales trading, which is focused on executing single stock situations, which may contain outsized market orders or illiquid stocks, these situations may provide a liquidity challenge and require various types of liquidity to be sourced. I help provide liquidity solutions for clients and manage risk.

Absolutely, I have found being on desk has improved my knowledge and technical skillset beyond what I could of imagined. I have had the opportunity to develop presentation, excel, coding skills and combining them with the knowledge i have picked up from expert professionals

I have very much enjoyed the programme. It has been a challenge but i have thoroughly enjoyed developing my skillset and advancing my career

The programme has a decent structure with the opportunity to learn and develop new skillsets which can be applied to your role. The only thing is there has been a lack of clarity on timelines to realistically obtain a regulated status

UBS is very good at supporting my development and advancing my career while making sure im not crushed by my workload especially in the run up to my CFA exam

We receive a lot of support from the training provider to help us achieve the qualifications- from exams to the portfolio based work- they are always happy to support and provide advice

I would say it has helped a considerable amount- especially in the period of high market volatility we are seeing this year. This has allowed me to have a greater understanding into some of the market moves.

there is plenty of networking opportunities and social events provided by the company and i play 7 aside football with my colleagues

Yes

I think UBS provides an amazing opportunity to learn on desk from industry professionals as well as receiving industry qualifications that are relevant and can be applied to the role.

Research into the company, understand the philosophy and ethos. put the time into prepare and practice interview questions.
