Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Job was listed on career services website. They schedule phone interviews for candidates they found interesting. The phone interview consisted of typical behavioral questions, plus a stock pitch. Some questions on macro environment were asked as well. Curveball was how I would hedge my stock pitch if placed in a portfolio. Final rounds - MS flew us out to their offices in NYC. Consisted of 4 interviews back to back - one with a current associate, and three with managing directors. All asked about a company I was following and any short ideas. I'd prepare 2-3 stock pitches (with 1 short idea) to be safe. All seemed very knowledgeable and gracious.
