i got rejected by Morgan Stanley for a summer internship in their institutional securities division. it took them over a month to get back to me, i almost missed a deadline for my other offer. in any case, the reasons that they offered was that I wasn't motivated, I didn't research the company enough. I spent a whole day preparing for this interview damn it. good thing i got an offer from somewhere else though, i didnt prepare for that interview at all and it was relaxed and i was very much myself.
MS is going down anyway, with all those execs leaving. there have even been talks to splitting the firm!!! that's just insane!!! MS is number 2 on the league tables!!
so anyway, anyone with any interview advices and experience, please share. i am gonna need a fulltime job next year.
A) You go to Cornell
B) MS NY doesn't hire many Asians
C) Your GPA probably isn't 3.9
yeah they do, i met with 1 exec director, 2 VPs, an associate, and 2 analysts, 4 of them were asian.
oh yeah, i already read all the Vault/Monstertrak guides. I just wanted to hear something that people here have gone through.
i was very nervous during the MS interview, that was a fact. I wish I were more laid back and stuff, like my Zurich interview (when i didn't really care).
Maybe you met with 4 asians bc they thought you'd feel more comfortable with them. My friend who interviewed at Lehman had the same experience; interviews with only Asians, starts job and it's all white people.
BTW, never work for Lehman, by far crappiest bulge.
Not necessarily true. There are a lot of Asian on WS. Look at Deutsche Bank, their CEO is Indian. In my dept, there are 10 Asians out of 19 analysts and associates. It would have been 11 but they fired one recently. 4 Koreans, 3 Indians, 1 Chinese, 1 Japanese, 1 Filipino and 1 Malaysian. 1 MD, 2 Directors, 2 VPs and 4 senior associates and 1 associates. If I look across at IB (across the hall), the whole department looks Indian or Pakistani. The traders and salespeople are all white though.
Where do you work?
