Advantages of a Non-Balance Sheet Bank

Hello there Monkeys,

What would you say are the main advantages of working for a non-balance sheet bank (think Morgan Stanley)?

Does it only show that the bank can have deals without the need to lend or do you see any other palpable differences while working at such a bank?

Any thoughts/guesses are welcome here
