UBS Financial Services Industry Academy

Anyone accepting offer?

most ppl here are split i think, since most were expecting FT pay. defo will have some accepting but the rejecting one will be more outspoken. Just my thoughts based on posts

To the self entitled graduates lurking in this thread, just my 2c.

Look at the big picture. 2.5 for 3 days a week isn't great but it isn't bad either.
Go in learn the skills and network.
If you end up getting retained, that's fantastic.
Else, use the prestige to secure another job outside.

If y’all are working just 3 days, 2.5k ain’t all that bad tbf

Should be ok if we are allowed to moonlight to supplement income.

Well i feel that it will be worth for those working in the front-office. If you're confident in your abilities just stick with the 12 months and you will most likely get converted full time at the end. For those in the backend office, might not be that worth as the FT pay is not as high as front office and i'm sure it will be much more competitive since back-end jobs does not requires high level of skills and can be easily replaced

same here at operations!

Hi all, just a heads up for those thinking of conversion. I did talk to HR for a bit about the possibilities and they were quite honest and open. HR did mention a fast tracked interview process if we do perform well but no official plans to convert trainees are in place at the end of the program. Like what the name suggest, its to help us get skills to tide over the covid period so we can find jobs next year.

Hope you guys take this into consideration. See you all if you are accepting
