Since October 2024 I'm retired from UBS. The retirement rule in UBS is, if you are born 1960 or erlier you have to retire when you are 64 years old.

At the age of 64 I feelt that I had much more to give in my working life, but a rule is a rule. And it's not easy to get another job when you are 64 years old
