received auto hirevue
same
Just curious if it asks Why Morgan Stanley as one of the behaviorals?
Any insights on timing? Type of questions and how many?
4 questions, for me there wasn't anything too technical.
i had to do a paper lbo
how many retries do you get for each question, if any?
How long do you have to complete the auto HireVue?
48 hours
First round for SF over zoom
No hirevue?
What??? It just released
Idk must have had strong referral. Had a lot of good calls there. They emailed me before I even applied
same got called right after for super day
What group in SF?
Does anyone have the hirevue questions?
Is it best to do the HV ASAP, or is it ok to wait until right before it's due?
as long as its within the 48 hrs, youre fine
anyone know what the timeline is like? first round phone screen --> superday?
anyone know if hirevue has retries?
does it?
How much time do you have to answer each question ?
90 seconds max response
bump
had my first round i’ve never had to bridge to equity value before i was super thrown off
Were there any retries for the questions? Were they mostly technical or behavioral
Anyone take the HV? Willing to share addtl info on it?
If anyone has HV questions and willing to share pls advise.
dm me
Did anyone not receive the auto hirevue? How long does it take for it to come out?
Haven’t received anything either
Yeah we might be cooked lol

Never received one either
What group?
IBD, PF, IE
Does anyone know when we can expect to do super days? I want to know the deadline for memorizing my technicals
Recruited for MS Menlo last year so can chime in - networked extensively so received a direct email from an analyst "inviting" me to apply. The structure was HV -> first round -> super day. From what I remember, got my first round around 2 weeks after my HV and superday 2 days after completing the first round (not sure if it was accelerated bcs I was invited to apply).
Since it was Menlo it was very very tech focused and honestly more technical than I expected. For my prep, I used 400Q guide for my HV but for my interviews used Capital Interview Experts guides since they had a tech banking section and I also made sure to keep with tech news.
To give you a sense of how technology focused the questions were, one question I remember being asked was "What multiples would you use for a high growth app, enterprise software, and a semiconductor company?".
The technicals were also harder than expected - thought it would be like the HV but got asked multiple paper LBO questions and Merger math questions so be prepared for that.
Nature of first round interview - behavioural versus technical.
dm me for cie guide at a discount.
I received all hirevues for all the groups I applied to
Did you apply to AM and IB by any chance? I’ve had one HV for IB NYC, got emails that I’ll get HV for IB SF and for AM but have received HV emails
Sorry ignore above comment. Question: have you done the Investment Management HV?
NYC nothing after hv?

Target and 3.9 gpa. Did not receive hirevue… a I cooked?
No, I didn’t receive mine immediately, I got it like 2 days later
check your other emails. I signed up w school email but it somehow sent to my personal
Anyone know what your hirevue gets weighted? Think I did pretty mid but also not terribly. Have strong referrals from analysts and an MD
You should be fine with the referrals as long as you didn't mess up the HV badly (MS still weighs networking compared to JPM that stopped) - all that you can focus on right now is interview prep so make sure those behaviorals and technicals are top-notch
does it go from HireVue to superday for MS? also if so, is superday in person?
anyone do a first round at MS SF and heard back?
lol app just opened last week and 1st round already out?
SF is accelerated process. I was invited to the interview before the app opened. It was 100% technical and very difficult, so prob just a way of narrowing down candidates.
also did r1, can I PM?
is ms sf and menlo supposed to be different?
anyone heard back from power and utilities (NY)?
no did you? how many ppl did you network with?
no. ntw w/ some folks
did you hear back for power and utilites yet or had first round
anyone apply industrial tech sf? does sf do group-based recruiting or generalist for fsg, aam, it?
Anyone know when NY first rounds will be sent?
bump
