on the other hand...i had a phone interview with them last friday.  i was asked two questions.  #1, tell me about yourself.  #2, tell me a time when you showed quantitative skills.  that took me about 5-7 minutes into the interview, then she asked if i had any questions for her before she continued.  she then basically talked to me for about 25 mins about her experiences at MS, etc...and finally told me that it was great talking to me and that shell get back to me.  not sure if that's a rare case considering i already interviewed with their real estate group prior.  still waiting to hear back...

 

i had two phone interviews with MS in HK. one consisted of the usual fit questions like why ibanking, why asia, why MS. then it went straight into brainteasers (which makes for awkward silence on the phone since you're trying to solve the problems). the second interviews was a combination of fit and technical. technical ones included "speak in chinese and sell me a stock", valuation, factors that drive m&a, etc

 

Ok, So I had two interviews. The first interview was very easy. Three days later I had one more interview with two people, some technical questions (fin statements and DCF). It has been two days now, should I call? Superdays are in two weeks. I got the interview in the first place by calling/emailing/bugging MD 10 times before I got the interview.

 

hr was never involved at all during the entire interview process other than to schedule them. my phone interviews were with an analyst and associate

 

That's odd. I had two first round phone interviews on Tuesday. One was with HR and the other was with an analyst. The only question I got that wasn't fit was an easy math question. No word back from them yet.

 

wait. when did you submit your application? Did you submit it online? How come you've already got the phone interview? I haven't finished my application yet :(
