You Want to Get Into Swiss Investment Banking — But You Don't Know What to Focus on.
I worked in UBS Large Cap M&A, hired and trained interns, and saw who gets offers — and who doesn't.

You’re Putting in the Effort — But Not Seeing Results
You want to get into Investment Banking, but you’re not sure what to focus on.
You’re sending applications and not hearing back.
You’re unsure if your CV would pass a real screen.
And when it comes to interviews, you don’t know what to expect, or what went wrong.
Most of what you find online is US-focused. The process, expectations, and standards in Switzerland are different. That’s where things start to break down.
Many candidates prepare a bit of everything — CV, technicals, networking — without knowing what matters at which stage.
That’s why nothing moves forward.

Meet Nico —
the guy who used to decide whether interns got their offer.
At UBS Large Cap Coverage, apart from supporting on transactions, I ran the junior recruiting process, staffed and trained interns, and built a 10-week internal training program. I saw first hand why some get offers — and why many don't.
I've also sat in your seat. I didn't start at the top. I failed my Gymnasium entrance exam at 12, worked my way up, graduated #1 from my Banking & Finance Bachelors at UZH, completed two Master's degrees, and landed a full-time offer at UBS without a single IB internship.
What I share inside NeverBanked comes from that path — and from working with people who are now in the same position you're aiming for.
