Levfin or "LAF" at HSBC is strong. Rest of the IB is crap.

Santander is marginally better for M&A but marginally worse on the lending side.

Sponsors M&A (London)
 

Graduate programme is basically 18 month and the pay is extremely bad compared to the street. The hours, 9-11 (higher in deals), are note good when considering pay. Also grads don't get a chance to model first year or so.
