UBS I am going through the interview process with UBS. I applied for a financial advising position. I have had three interviews, completed the background check, and they asked me about my termination from last job, fired from mortgage company due to mortgage rates increasing. Last contact was a week ago. Since my first interview it’s been about a month and a half. Is this normal for their hiring process? Is this a good or bad sign?

In the offer phase with a potential new employer and my current employer fired me. Will this effect my potential hiring with the new company? Should I tell them or if it comes up just say I’ve separated?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!
