I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Jan 2015
Interview
Consist of 2 parts, with 2 different interviewers:
- ED for 30 minutes
- MD for 30 minutes
The first interviewer was nice and made it more relaxed for me. Introduced himself, his job and what are the up and downs of working in the industry.
Less competency and more about market awareness.
- Whats the recent news?
Further discuss about the news and issues. Your thoughts!
The second interviewer was a lot stricter! Kept drilling and picking points from my answers.
Ask more competency questions,
- Tell me a time when you work in a team on a group project, and you had a problem with one of the team members? How did you go about solving it?
Company related questions. KNOW THE COMPANY!
Was a great experience overall!
