Morgan Stanley Firm Strategy and Execution

Hi all! I’ve been wandering around WSO and came upon an old (~’09) topic on Morgan Stanley’s Firm Strategy and Execution (FSE) group.

I’ve already accepted an IB position at a different BB for the next summer, but I’m really curious to learn more about this group for a potential full-time switch. Does anyone have any insight into what the group does now? Is it a corporate strategy type of position? What are the exit opportunities like?..
