Operations at Morgan Stanley or Equity Research at MM for Summer Internship?
For my junior year summer, I'm torn between these two offers. I've gotten conflicting advice suggesting on the one hand, that I take MS for the brand name, and on the other, MM for front office experience. Ultimately, I'd like to end up in corp fin or in-house strategy/consulting. Any advice?
Is this a serious question? Of course go for the equity research, its infinitely better
Also, Morgan Stanley's brand name exists because of its front office, not because of its back office. You'll benefit nothing from the brand name in ops
Cheers, thanks for this. My uni career counselors weren’t very familiar with Berenberg so they were worried I’d have more trouble with FT recruiting, but hopefully it’s more well-known to people in finance
Your first mistake was talking to your uni careers counselor
Which Uni ?
It will be cool to say you work at Morgan Stanley but once someone asks what division, you’ll get laughed at for being back office.
tragically true
Go to equity research
What everyone said. General framework: role / function over firm
Berenberg for equity research. Assuming NY office - you’ll gain greater exposure to markets, have greater responsibility, and deal with more interesting work. You’ll also be better positioned to compete for a greater number of roles when exiting.
Plus the possibility of traveling to their London office is always a plus.
Thanks! ER does seem like it’s more suited to exiting into strategy roles. I’ll be based in the London office (vs the middle of fucking nowhere for the ops role) which I also think would be much better for networking and general exposure
Equity research to 'in house strategy' lmfao, have you not bothered to do 30 seconds research on strategy & operations? how are you going to be an analyst if you don't have the ability to research things?
