Advice needed - FT TMT London

Hey monkeys,

I recently finished my masters and am now looking to start in London. I have a couple of options and am personally extremely interested in TMT (especially the Tech part). How would you say does a 2nd tier BB (such as UBS or Barclays) compare to Tech boutique firms (such as Arma) in their TMT franchise? What would you recommend someone for a FT start if the person wants to do tech and get the best exposure and learnings possible. How easy would it be to change to a top tier BB from a boutique (compared to a 2nd tier BB) after 1 to 2 years ? 

Appreciate any insights or help!
