I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
The fairly typical interview process, a combination of behavioral and technical questions with a junior employee and then second round was senior. Before that, casual on-campus and recuriting events with some one-on-one coffee chats.

Hirevue, first round with an associate, second round with a VP, final with an MD. All in all not bad if you prepare well enough. All of the free resources online will help a lot

Question 1
Describe investment banking to someone who's never heard of it
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Hong Kong) in Jul 2024
Interview
Overall good experience and professional questions asked. However I think I wasn’t given enough time for some of the more complicated questions. HireVue format also a bit annoying, but the questions make you feel like the company cares for your growth.
