I have a friend who's a first year analyst in MSIM...s/he hates her job and basically says it's a daily bloodbath. The 08 analyst class was just told last week they will not be recieving their 10k raise and bonus numbers will be meager.

I'm sure it is different in good times, but not sure if I'd elect to go into such a market-driven, sales area of MS in this market.

 

the exit opps would probably be good depending on the market. I am sure you could interview with plenty of credit hedge funds ie goldentree, mariner, bluemountain (shrinking) etc post stint.. the name brand will be fine if that is what you are looking for. did u get an offer?

 

GSAM generally view their main competition as JPM and BlackRock. Morgan Stanley are certainly a big shop in the area, but the aforementioned three are more worried about each other. Having said this, AM is being given emphasis at all of the BB firms as they look to diversify away from IB into areas that draw the ire of regulators less, and MS are definitely a good operation to join at Analyst level.
