I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (London, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
A Telephone Interview that lasted around an hour was invited to complete a HackerRank before it - a mix of behavioural and commercial awareness, no technical questions, and a couple of brainteasters
Just phone screening with an analyst. Interview was pretty chill and the analyst was super nice. It was more like a casual talk on why I am interested in the job. There were no technicals.
