Schedule some random Friday and mondays off to help prep. I started the process by doing applications late (like 11pm-midnight). One or two a night.

Hi Guys,

I have completed my tech interview rounds with UBS and have received email for fitment round.

Can anyone share what happens in this fitment round on interview?
HRs have asked to submit documents even before this fitment round; which seems unusual. Is this normal for UBS and this is how they progress?

Thank you.
