Hi Guys,
This is my first post so I’ll try not to waffle on too much. I have recently graduated with a first class honours degree and am looking for trading graduate schemes. Now I know that sounds like a stupid statement, but I’ll explain further.
When searching for graduate schemes there are the really obvious ones, for example, Goldman Sachs, J.P Morgan, Citi Group etc, which have all got, or are about to get my applications when they open.
I am more interested if anyone knows of smaller banks with similar schemes. An example of this would be Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, they are not as well known as a Goldman, but never the less I’m sure they still offer great opportunities and training in their global markets grad scheme.
The way I have been searching for these banks is simply finding their name, looking at their website, and seeing if they offer anything along those lines. This doesn’t feel like the most efficient way to do things either, so if anyone has any methods on how to better search, I am certainly open for ideas.
I’m also going to be applying for commodities grad schemes, like BP, so I’m open for anything really.
Now from what I have read from other posts, when a new person seems to ask a Q that may have come up before, and this is said with the up most of respect, a lot of legendary or senior members seem to say ‘use the search engine’ or ‘this Q has been asked so many times before’. I completely understand it will be irritating to keep regurgitating the same stuff for people who haven’t searched the site properly, but I have found no definitive answer to this question (if there is one), so I don’t mind you saying it has been asked before, as long as you give me the search criteria that comes up with the right result.
To also give you an idea of who I am. I’m also looking into back office jobs. You know, trade support and trader assistant positions because personally, I’m not someone who thinks I’m gonna go straight into an IB and become the next Louis Bacon or Steven Cohen. I have no problem, and in fact would prefer, to work my way up to the right position, as I am here learn everything I can from everyone.
So names of smaller banks or positions would be great, and I you want more details about me, you know what to do.

MrGecko. Thanks for the posts. Thats what I've been doing, just trawling through that wiki list. It just gets a bit tedious, but I supose nothing like this is ever going to be fun.
