Which teams did you get interviewed by for your previous round?

Anyone knows how long do they take to get back after video interview?
And the subsequent interviews with dept and hr are they f2f or online as well

No f2f interviews at all cause of covid. If you finished your video interview already, you should be hearing back soon, they are conducting the department interviews now.

Anyone know what's the benefit like working ubs as perm staff

the coming one would already be my second (and apparently last one based on what the person who called me mentioned). it seems like after this, would be the discussion of contract etc

i am not sure which department but i was interviewed by an associate director and a HR representative (i will probably be joining the hr team if it is successful since that is what I am pursuing in uni)

not very good. which is kinda expected.

bottomline = if your mkt power high = reject
mkt power low= enter while looking for exit opps.

thank you for the advice! the only opportunity cost is whether it would be worth for the ubs name on your resume while tanking the low pay.

plus i would say based on my first interview round, it has been a rather pleasant experience and the interviewers are really great and welcoming (which is pretty hard to come by given that other interviews I have attended have been pretty shitty).

Maybe this is the reason why you cant find a job and am going for a traineeship.

Employers dont look at brand names, but ur job scope, responsibilities, skills etc.

Employers do look at brand names. Don’t be ridiculous.

Google vs no-name SME - who will you pick?

JPM vs Sri Lanka Bank - who will you pick?
