Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor Associate interview questions

Call by recruiter, phone interview with Branch Manager (non-producing), in person interview with Branch Manager, and then in person with complex manager. You have to take a personality and financial acumen test--both are easy.

Other comments you see on here regarding the interview process are accurate, so I won't go too much into further detail. They'll pay you an initial salary, but your success is up to you. You have to be a hunter. You find the clients, then you make the money. To get the job, you have to do your own research and prove to them that you have a reasonably good plan to get clients. That's it. NOT FOR YOU: There's a huge failure rate, around 90%, because most people who apply are really looking for a "regular" job. They want specific duties, with a predictable salary, vacation time, personal time off, etc. If this is what you want, then this job is not for you. THIS JOB IS FOR YOU: If you're like me: Very passionate about the financial market, entrepreneurial, self-motivated, seeking opportunity to make a lot of money rather than "job security," want to get paid by your performance rather than wait for someone to retire in order to get a promotion, and want the backing of a huge brand, then this job is for you. I was thrilled to discover this position because I've considered forking over $100ks to buy a franchise. Here, they pay me (first year)! How awesome is that. Basically, this is the way to think of this position. Good luck!
