[tps_header]9. Moelis & Company[/tps_header]

If you are thinking about banking as a long term career, you should strongly consider the boutiques. And of them, Moelis has had the strongest growth over the past 5 years. Working here marries the startup environment with a traditional career path.
If you are thinking about banking merely as a stepping stone, the boutiques are still better because of the early responsibility and the ability to take ownership over your work product.
