Initial phone interview was competency based with some general business awareness questions like, what regulatory bodies do you think morgan stanley have to answer to and why is regulation required. Assessment day was very relaxed, did group exercise first. Give information to share with rest of group and discuss and come to a decision within 45mins. This was followed by two 2v1 interviews. These were largely competency based, very similar to the telephone interview with a few more personal questions on cv, and why morgan stanley, why finance, etc.

The process begins with an initial phone screen from HR. Successful candidates then complete a technical assessment testing Excel and financial modeling skills. Next, they interview with the hiring manager, followed by a panel interview with senior team members. A final case study presentation is given to department leadership before an offer is extended.
