Q What were your initial perceptions of
UBS? Were they accurate?
A The financial industry in general has
received a lot of negative press during and
since the financial crisis, which I do not
believe is fully justified. Investment banks
provide necessary services to corporations,
and during economic downturns
companies look to banks to receive sound
and strategic financial advice. I have found
that the past year and a half has been very
active as companies look to improve their
businesses—UBS has certainly provided
me with the opportunity to be a part of this
changing industry.
Q What would make a candidate stand
out to recruiters?
A Much of the job is actually learned
on the job, so a strong academic record
shows an ability to learn quickly and take
in new information. It’s also important to
be familiar with what is happening in the
world: In college, it’s easy to get caught up
in exams and homework, but you need to
go into an interview with an awareness of
the economy and current events.
Q How did your internship benefit you?
A The internship reaffirmed my interest
in banking. It was an opportunity to get
to know my future colleagues, make good
first impressions, and become familiar with
the internal processes of the bank, all of
which helped a lot when I returned to UBS
as a full-time analyst.
Q What are the opportunities for
advancement at UBS?
A UBS aims to recruit people out of
the internship program, so if you prove
yourself as a hard worker during your
internship, there is so much room to
grow. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by
the support I’ve received and by the
opportunities I’ve been given, not only to
grow in terms of rank, but also in terms of
exposure to different types of companies
within industrials and becoming a sector
expert in those that interest me.
Q What do you like most about your job?
A I love the team that I’m a part of and the
everyday challenges we face. At the end
of the day, our clients care a lot about the
successes and failures of their businesses,
and we want to help them make good
decisions. Being part of that decision-
making process is really rewarding.
Q What are some challenges you face
at work?
A The learning curve can be steep and
challenging, especially when you’re first
starting out, but over time you learn more
and become comfortable in your work
environment. Another challenge is finding
work-life balance. My work hours are long,
but there is definitely opportunity to be
social and enjoy living in NewYork if you
learn to manage your own time, become
more efficient, and communicate your
schedule well to others.
Q Any advice for students interested at
working for UBS?
A After graduation, take a trip you’ve
always wanted to take, relax, and get
ready to hit the ground running.Your first
few years in the workforce are extremely
rewarding, but also very challenging, so
take some time beforehand to reflect and
reset yourself. 

harlotte Revol became interested in finance from a
young age as she watched her brother pursue a career
in investment banking and was impressed by the level of
exposure and responsibility he received as a recent graduate. As
a first generation Argentine-American, Charlotte was searching for
an opportunity to use her Spanish-speaking skills in a professional
setting, and joined UBS as an intern in its Latin America group. She
returned after graduation as a full-time analyst.
