UBS

The 18-24 Graduate Training Programme is a great one. Like other global banks - the technical skills & relationships you develop is immense. Definitely worth serious consideration.

Evercore

Technically an elite boutique -but has to be on any serious bankers list. Notoriously difficult to break in with a strong focus on technical ability. If you're the type of person who uses a mouse in Excel, maybe give it a miss.
