Very close minded and short term thinking.

If you are naive enough to think just putting a 4 month stint in UBS doing trade administration is going to brand your cv and help you break into lucrative banking roles, you are in for a rude shock. Also brokerage ops is a very unconventional backoffice function, you are not going to understand back office function just by doing intern odd jobs like that for 4 months.
