I thought most places send out company wide blasts for all deals?

Also UBS itself says during your oboarding training that the IB just exists to support the wealth management function.

The IB isn't something UBS actually cares about. It just exists because they feel obligated to have a department.

Same thing for DB. Just switch out as fast as you can. Settle for smaller names as long as you can get good deal flow.

So what have you been doing for an entire year?

Pitching. Look at the firm name. They sent out a company wide email for a 285 mil deal

Mostly just pitching all the time, 0 learning opportunities yet doing plenty of grunt work.

UBS TMT isn’t bad... they pitch us a lot on sellside auctions and they do good work

Ouch...that’s terrible....

A2, key word there is "pitch". They're pitching deals, not. Winning apparently.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.
