Morgan Stanley Careers and Employment

My team at Morgan Stanley was fantastic, probably one of the tightest knit teams that I have ever been a part of. As someone still young and growing in the industry there is a great amount to learn here. As for your social life, plan to never have any weekends free and if you are in the technical field there is just a small team so you will be on call 24/7 some weeks. December is the worst month for all at Morgan because of End of Year financial reviews, at the end of 2019 there was nearly 1500 jobs cut mostly in the technology sector, so never be confident about your position here, it can be cut at any time.

If your parents are rich/ connected or you are an excellent politician you have it made

Politics dominates Morgan Stanley. Mom and dad and connections are by far the single biggest career determinants, production is a close third. If one and two don’t apply be prepared to work your self to death with no support, if you produce then you will get support. You just have to buy your way in.
