I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview was very thorough and included many rounds. First was mostly behavioral to see how well you might work with others. Later interviews involved project based assignments and group exercises with hard deadlines the assess how well you work under pressure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to make a big decision with limited information.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Baltimore, MD) in Jan 2022
Interview
I interviewed with various managers across different Morgan Stanley teams, each looking for a Financial Analyst. You likely won't have much luck if you just wing it - preparation is a must!
The topics of the questions were mixed but common themes were your understanding of basic financial concepts, technical skills, and your work ethic. I recommend showing up with a positive attitude, ensuring that you can confidently speak to current events related to Morgan Stanley, and being able to effectively communicate your professional background.
Very smooth interview process.
I had 2 rounds - First the Manager of the team I was allocated to - a more technical round.
Second with the VP - more to know about my personality. Reading and being up to date about topic and showing team work skills helps in my opinion.
