Trading Intern at UBS

Declined Offer – Reviewed May 31, 2013

Interview Details The first round consisted of 3 interviews. The final round consisted of 7-8 interviews. The first and final round questions were very similar, general resume questions, easy finance questions and easy brainteasers. Some more advanced probability questions too but should depend on the background of the candidate. General impression was that the traders were looking for well rounded candidates.

Interview Question – What would you do if you lost a lot of money? How would you react?   Answer Question
