I recently received an offer to join the Morgan Stanley HQ in Purchase, NY - West Chester County NY. I was wondering if anyone was from there/been there and had an opinion on the facility... +/-, size, quality, etc etc. Any information would be very helpful and much appreciated! Thanks.

I am a master degree holder in industry engineering and working in logistics now. Just out of curisority, I am wondering, if I want a future job in I-Banking, whether I should choose to pursue a degree in financial engineering or get a MBA degree? Appericate your remarks.
Qianqu, please start your own thread.
I have a friend who worked at Morgan over the summer and he said that facility is very nice (modern, great gym), but it's in Purchase! Which is like 1-1.5 hours away from NYC (including the shuttle bus from the train station in Purchase to Morgan's facility). If you have any comparable offers in NYC, I would take that instead. What is the position?
jgsim, you wouldn't happen to know how often the shuttle bus runs and if it goes directly to morgan would you? i live in the city and i was trying to decide if i want to commute everyday or get a lease out there for the summer. without a car i don't know how people function in the suburbs...
Just a thought...why dont you contact HR and ask them yourself? This thread is 7 years old. A lot has probably changed since then.
The position is within Fixed Income. Did he commute from NYC? I live in Northern NJ so I was thinking of commuting. Anything else about the facility? I played basketball in college I was wondering if they had anything other than the gym.. and any other information would be very helpful. I will probably go visit sometime in Febuary..
Looking for information on who runs the internship program at Morgan Stanley in Purchase (Originally Posted: 11/01/2012)
Im trying to find out who runs the internship program and conducts the interviews there. If anyone knows and could let me know that would be great.
Thanks a lot
You need to go through Morgan Stanley's Fixed Income recruiting process, then during the desk preference process, list each desk that is in the Westchester office.
What area of fixed income? If this in commodities or municipals, or in their retail fixed income divison?
He was just there for a day actually (to visit and see the facility). He was based out of the NYC office.
YAY or NAY - Opportunities at Morgan Stanley - PURCHASE, NY (Originally Posted: 07/09/2014)
Ladies and gents,
It's that time of the year again. I need to get as much info as possible, as it seems the info online and on WSO is very limited.
I have a possibility of joining MS in their Purchase office in NY (there is a chance if I actually follow it up and go thru an interview) so it's all in the early stages. At the same time, I don't even know what exactly is out there, besides MS WM headquarters and a huge trading floor (both of which I am not as intrigued in).
My interest lays within IB, however, due to the circumstances I am in, I am willing to start in any other depts such as GCM, ER, Corporate and Public Finance, etc.
Are there ANY front office positions located in Purchase office of MS? If so, what are they? tell me tell me tell me
Does anyone happen to know what is in there exactly and what are the possibilities of transition to IB once getting a gig in Purchase at some other department?
What's the picture look like for starting a career with MS in Purchase?
Pretty much, any info you benevolent people could share with me would be greatly appreciated. And I mean, ALL.
Please hop on here and set yourself free typing that invaluable for me info!
Cheers ;)
here come the monkey shits
Not sure how easy it is to hop from capital markets to IB front office, would be curious as to what others have to say. I believe MS' entire commodities trading is in Purchase, so that's an option, but I'm in PWM and I know I don't interact with many/any commodities traders, it's not a huge part of PWM as a whole, so those guys are more institutional.
I think the question is less based on location, and more a question of: can you transition from capital markets to IB? I'm thinking that even if you're in capital markets on the retail side, you still interact with institutional guys, so it may be easier to transition to institutional capital markets, S&T, stuff like that.
Commodities controller, part of FCG. Anyone else have any input on the facility?
Have to admit this is a very strange question--smile
Was there a couple yrs bak. It is the old Texaco building built in the late 70's ,I believe. Located on some 100 acreas, with lots of paking lots.
New lobby, new cafeteria, executive dining, tv room and a fitness center. Only remember seeing standard equipment. No climbing wall that is bid in other places, no basketball that I saw. Maybe there were hand ball or squash courts-really can't remember.
The building is also famous for state of the art air-conditioning system--largest air cooled by ice.
MS shares the facility with another firm- at least when I was there.
Nothing really spectacular. Think it is like three or four stories high.
Maybe there are hoops outside, really don't know.
You should call them if you live so close by and ask for visitors pass pending future employment.
Hope that helps a little.
It's a great facility with mainly fixed income trading (retail and institutional). Commute from NYC is about 40min (express) and 50min (local). The time is only from grand central to purchase train stop...so add more time for nyc subway and car ride from train stop to MS (5-10 min).
Thanks, I wonder what the commute is from Northern NJ at rush hour and morning hour. Hopefully it has a nice gym and some hoops. We will see. Thanks!
