Group allocation at MS London? (off-cycle)

Hey there,

I will be starting an internship at Morgan Stanley London this fall, and I would like to know if anyone has any insight on how / when is the group allocation process?

Thank you,

Miquel

Thanks man, really appreciate it!! Do you think that it is good to reach out to people in the group that I want to join before the start of the allocation process?

Definitely. Just know that MS is very shady in recruiting / group allocation / timing of offers etc. Speaking from personal experience.
