Interview
Interviewed for Branch internship at Morgan Stanley. Suburban wealth management branches are definitely not where you want to intern at. Rejection took 4 months and they do not value clarity or whatsoever. Do not be tricked by the name of the company.
Applied through the website to do the hirevue and got a first round, but did not get a further invitation for a superday. Overall the interviews were pretty standard and non technical
