I’ve got internship offers from UBS and Bloomberg to join their tech and global data team respectively in London. Which would you advise? I’m keen on prospect for full-time, growth opportunities, company culture, skills transferability outside the firm and full-time compensation #tech #data
UBS is a respectable bank and the dream of many business folks. While Bloomberg is just another tech company. So it’s obviously Bloomberg >>>>> whatever bank
Bloomberg engineers are paid way better than the global data analysts. Like double to triple. So it's important to know if you're in engineering or global data.
I'll be in Global Data and I'm aware of the wide variance btw SWE and global data pay at Bloomberg, but I’ve not been assigned a team at UBS tech yet.
Don’t expect to do much coding in global data. It’s a glorified data analyst/entry job. Most of them are non tech.
Definitely Bloomberg. So much bureaucracy and politics here - you’ll get nothing done. And the legacy tech stack 🤮
From experience friend, there is nothing new under the sun...politics and legacy are everywhere.
GD? don't go
Why though? Could you help with some insights
It's a different company. They're trying to incorporate it with a reorg, but the culture is completely different (and toxic). Let's just say you'll be second class citizens, with SWE being 1st. You generally don't want to be 2nd class citizens (sorta why I wouldn't want to work in a bank as a SWE).
Bloomberg offers 2x salary as ubs
That’s probably for SWE, my offer is for Global Data
