      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      First round face to face. Ask mostly motivation questions and past experience. Really dug into detail about past internships and follow up with technical questions. Asked about macroeconomics questions and public policy. Very broad. Why public finance is very difficult to answer. The interviewer was very serious and had a poker face.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      The first round interview was very simple. An analyst called me on the phone during the scheduled time and only asked me behavioral questions. Some examples of questions that I was asked were "Tell me about yourself", "How do you stay updated with what is going on in the financial industry and the economy?", "Tell me about a time you worked on a team, and you had to deal with a difficult situation?", and "Tell me about the current classes you are taking right now and why you enjoy your favorite one?" (for this question i would suggest talking about how that class relates to Public Finance). Overall, the interview was very simple, and you should not worry about it as much.
