Haven't seen a thread for this year's MS enhancement program. I got an automatic HireVue as soon as submitting - is this normal? Any tips on the kinds of questions I might get or how best to prepare? Thanks in advance!

Ah, the Morgan Stanley First-Year Enhancement Program! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not unusual to receive a HireVue invitation shortly after submitting your application. This seems to be a common practice among big banks like Morgan Stanley to streamline the initial stages of the recruitment process.
As for tips on the kinds of questions you might get, here's what I can share:
For the specific questions, while I don't have the exact ones for the 2024 program, previous HireVue interviews have included questions about recent transactions of interest and times when the candidate noticed something wrong in a team or project and how they addressed it.
Prepare well, and good luck! Remember, every banana was once green before it became the perfect yellow, so give yourself time to ripen your skills and knowledge before the interview.
