Quantitative Strategist Intern Interview - Sales and Trading
Two rounds of Hackerrank tests
One round of in-person interviews (5 interviews with 5 people)
Hackerranks were proctored by one team member. Questions were fairly easy and the examiners were kind and helpful.
Final rounds consisted of two DSA/coding questions rounds, two cultural/fit rounds (one of which was with the team's Director,) and one round of pure finance-related technicals (mainly about UMR modelling as it was relevant for the position)
MSREI Pre-MBA Associate Interview - Private Equity
The second step was a timed excel modeling test. Mine was a multi-family deal with a renovation, 2.5 hour time limit. I was given all of the assumptions and asked to build a cash flow statement and waterfall, then answer a series of questions.
I wasted too much time setting up the model and formatting so I did not finish everything and did not make it to the next round. My understanding it the rest of the process consisted of 5 more interviews, I do no know if they were phone of in-person but the associate said they would be spaced out, not a super day.

Fixed Income Summer Analyst Program Interview - Fixed Income
At the diversity event, I had a super day with three half hour interviews back to back: one technical (what would you trade given $100k/what if you were trading for my grandmother, how are the 5 year and 10 year yield doing, how do you divide a clock into three equal pieces so that added up the numbers inside each section are equal, etc), one behavioral (leadership questions, tell me about a time you dealt with adversity, how do you respond to feedback), and one that was half behavioral/half about Morgan Stanley (what is unique about MS, who's the CEO, who's the head of ISG, etc).
I really liked my interviewers, felt comfortable with them and like they were being generous with my answers and helping me succeed. I was not prepared for the "what would you trade with $100k" question and butchered it, but tried my best and made an argument for buying Exxon bonds because of their recent Pioneer acquisition. It seemed like the interviewers cared a lot more about being personable and bright than necessarily having all the answers. He noticed that I was fumbling the technical trading q's and switched tacks to less intense technicals. During the brain teaser, the interviewer encouraged me when I was on the right track and suggested I try different tacks when I wasn't. I wasn't even sure I wanted to do FID but truly enjoyed speaking with all of them about their careers and why they'd stayed at MS for so long.
