Yea I completed the HireVue last night.
lol yeah i completed it last night too. Hopefully we hear back soon.
Yea, if it is similar to the FID and ER program I’m expecting in 2-3 weeks we should hear back for candidates chosen for the super day.
Anyone else?
How quickly after applying did you receive the hirevue invite?
Cant remember exactly but it was almost 2 weeks I think. Banks are slow af.
I think I received the HireVue after the application closed. My job status hasn't been updated since Mar. 6th so I think that means they haven't reviewed my HireVue yet.
1 week after the application closed**
I dont know if job status updating means anything - i've applied to other roles at ms (still going through the process) and sometimes they keep the status updated and other times they dont.
One time a recruiter at MS told me that means they updated whether they want to move forward post your HireVue. Either way man I hope we hear back next week.
Have you heard anything yet? I've heard nothing and my status still says "in review".
No luck on my end either. I know today is 2 weeks since the HireVue was due so I’m hoping we hear back by the end of the week. If not, I may send a follow up mail to the recruiter.
Hopefully we hear something tomorrow!
Yea I doubt it because MS gives their employees Good Friday off. Looks like we have to wait another with all this anxiety
Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone in this forum has also applied for the MS Global Capital Markets posting that recently came open? It has been two weeks and my status is still In Review as well.
I did not. You might have some luck if you search for the topic though.
yea i did, got dinged today
Was this for the S&T or GCM posting?
l
For GCM? Yeah, it's gone radio silent since the info session via Zoom. I hope we know something soon. Finance in my neck of the woods is mostly FA/client services and this would really move the needle to something worthwhile.
Has anyone heard anything for S&T yet? I reached out to the recruiter last week and she said we should be hearing back this week.
Nope still waiting man, good to know this week is when they are expecting to get back to us.
Yea I realized that given current events the equities division was probably busy AF avoiding a $5bn loss lol.
I reached out to the recruiter and she said we should hear something back by next week.
lmao by that point ill have already accepted a different job
I got the Hirevue for GCM. Have never done a Hirevue and am overthinking the type of questions will be on it. I know it's only three, and I want to flash some brilliance if possible.
I heard the questions are the same as the equities one. These are the questions
What’s the best team you worked on, how did you contribute to your business, most difficult professional experience
You are the real MVP!
is it NYC or London office?
Has anyone else heard back on any of the programs? I applied to the IBD program but still nothing. Status says in review still on the website
Hopefully this week something comes. I think I acquitted myself decently in the Hirevue. Some of the practice takes felt stronger than the finished product, but I did sound like I knew my financial stuff, so hope it leads to something this week.
Had Hirevue last week, waiting to hear back regarding next steps
What group did you apply for?
Investment Banking
I heard back today for the S&T that I will be moving on with the super day sometime next week. Anyone else heard back?
I heard back yesterday too
Not that it matters cause I already accepted a position elsewhere, but did anyone hear back from the institutional equities one? My app stats still says in review.
Received super day invite for Institutional Equities Division 4/14 Looks like time slots start next week. Any tips on what to prepare for? Good luck guys
Congrats on the Super Day! Are they having you go up to NYC for it?
Thanks! will take place over zoom
Has anyone received the email with the time slots yet?
Nope, still waiting
Nope
.
Anyone hear back from IBD or GCM yet? Sounds like IED superdays are in process. Think they’re handling things one program at a time?
Made it to 1st Round Interview for IBD. (This is post HireVue)
Did you hear back today?
And congrats!
Nothing from GCM yet. Program starts in July so perhaps no rush...
Anyone receive an email requesting to schedule their IED superday, following the initial invitation received last Thursday 4/14? I haven't heard anything yet.
I have not heard back yet. I am guessing we will get something today or tomorrow. Assuming the interviews are next week, I am thinking the earliest we hear back is the week of May 3rd. You think they will still look to have the program in June?
I just got the email, interviews are next week
Same here. Think this is the final round/superday?
Haven’t heard anything officially but given the extended recruiting timeline, perhaps they may delay the start date to September in the hopes that they can conduct the training program 100% in person.
Is the recruiter you guys reach out to Ms. Frieda? Sent her an email a week ago regarding GCM but no follow up yet. Don't want to come across as desperate and send another this week. Will just sit tight.
Did anyone else get an email for IED, super day is next week. Any interview tips.
I received mine and I thought it was a super day but it says "1st round interview" in the email. For interview tips, just going to look up IED interview questions. I wonder if they will ask us the normal questions since the program is targeted around people without financial backgrounds.
GCM updates will be in the weeks to come the recruiter said. Reviewing resumes and hirevues.
Heard back for GCM for first round but not IBD. What’s everyone else’s status?
automated video or conversation with someone from the business?
Congrats man! Did you have a Hirevue before the 1st round invite?
I did do a hirevue, and had my first round this past week.
Yeah had my hirevue for both IBD and GCM, and have only heard back from GCM so far. Considering someone else on this forum heard from IBD more than a week ago tells me that they might have chosen their people for that program.
Did anyone have the first round interviews yet? What kind of questions were they asking?
I completed my super day yesterday for IED. it was 3 interviews back to back. Sent thank you notes and 2/3 responded to them. Don't know if that's a good sign or if there is another round. Any insight?
what type of questions did they ask you?
Had my interviews last Thursday and Friday - any ideas when we're hearing back?
Was this for S&T and if so how do you think you did? I believe all candidates had it last week and I hope we hear back by the end of the week.
Yeah the IED Experienced Professionals Program - so technically it can be anything in that, but they all asked what I wanted to do and I said sales. Thought it went as well as it could have. Good luck, hopefully we hear this week
Good luck to you! Hopefully we hear back this week. Anyone hear anything yet?
Nothing yet and Im pretty sure they will keep us anxious as long as possible lol. I wouldn't be surprised if we dont hear back until sometime next week. Good luck to everyone!
Has anyone been stuck in In Review for a while on the portal? I have some other things lined up outside of this, but nevertheless seeing I haven't been hit with the "no longer being considered" gut punch, I figure there's still a chance?
From what I heard, MS doesn't always update the recruitment portal in a timely manner. If you had a superday last week you're definitely in the running. Best of luck
Were all last week's Superdays IED?
I think today is the day fellas, good luck!
Yes, you are correct. I just heard back today. Did anyone else receive an update?
Same! I have another round next week, hbu?
Got the email. Was really hoping we were done haha
I received the email stating that I advanced to the next round yesterday late afternoon.
I too was surprised that there will be another round next week.
Anyone hear anything from GCM/IBD past the hirevue or first round?
anyone hear back from IED super day
I just did 1/2 2nd round interviews. I have the other one scheduled next week. Do we know if there is a third round or if this is actually the final one?
Was that for GCM?
It has to be the final round. But I haven’t heard anything official. I think we’ll hear back on Friday 5/21. Any later would be too late for a June start, especially with the Memorial Day holiday coming up.
I think its final. were you in sales or trading cohort?
yes I think as well. how was your interviews like as mine was pretty chilled
Agreed. Was a somewhat standard interview. Hoping that we hear back by Friday!
Anyone hear back for IBD?
Was that the associate level role? I am not part of that cohort, but simply curious.
Yes
Has anyone heard back from IED after 2nd round Super Day Interviews?
Not yet. My opinion is that we’ll hear back tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning. But also wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen until Monday. But I’m thinking Thurs/Fri
Hoping for tomorrow 🤞🏽
I just finished the second interview of the second round, praying we hear back soon
Congrats on finishing. Interesting- I didn’t know that interviews were still ongoing. In light of this, I doubt that we’ll hear anything before Monday at the earliest.
to be fair, this last interview was supposed to take place last week but it was rescheduled. So maybe I was the one holding everyone else up
Anyone with updates on the GCM program interviews/recruitment?
Did anyone hear back today?
No
anyone heard anything? no updates?
Nothing yet - probably not till the end of the week
just heard back for yet ANOTHER round this week. Anyone else or just me?
What was this one for?
I haven’t heard anything yet. What are you interested in, sales, trading, or sales-trading?
I had the 3rd round yesterday. Both interviews were 45 mins each so I assume it's the last one for sure.
What type of interview was it?
I think the people we interviewed with in this round was the team that we will likely work with in addition to more MDs
Did they ask you role based questions or are they just finding out if you are good for the team?
Mostly fit and technical.
Is this for IB?
IED Analyst level role not IBD
This is a very interesting situation. Looks like some people had a 3rd round yesterday, for which they were notified in the morning and asked to complete it later in the day.
Many were not invited to another round of interviews. I’m thinking that those not invited to a 3rd round are either 1) automatically denied or 2) A decision has been made on the basis of the first 2 rounds (sufficient evaluative basis)
Looks like the 3rd interview will probably be used as a tiebreaker or placement interview, or a truly “final” round in which everyone not invited to a 3rd round is denied.
What do you guys think? Do you agree?
I interviewed with more senior people yesterday. Every single interview has been with people from different teams so I don't know if it's for placement purposes as much as it is for fit within the division. I think this wasn't a tie breaker because for the second round, it clearly said second round, not final. I have a friend who worked there years ago and he also went through 3 rounds total of 7-8 interviews so I think this is standard procedure for a FT offer.
I would check the application status on their portal. Mine was updated yesterday with "Interview in progress"
Shows “interview in progress”. Did anyone hear back today?
I didn’t- who knows when we’ll have answers
Definitely next week for sure since the program is suppose to start in June
Any updates on the GCM front? That program has a July start date.
Did anyone get an email today asking for additional information?
I got it too! idk if that means we're getting offers
I think it means that we are getting offers.
Likely. Does it ask about recent political contributions?
Yes very odd haha
Any news?
Good luck to those that are getting offers!
still odd they haven't called after sending that "additional info" email. anyone heard back?
Yeah I havent received anything else yet
Just received a verbal offer! Good luck to the others!
Is this for the IB Program?
Hello,
Congrats on the MS offer. I'm in the process for this year and would appreciate any tips you can provide.
Kind regards,
Francis
Just received the verbal offer. Good Luck Everyone!
Is this for the IB Program?
Nope it's for IED Program
Congrats!! I havent received anything since the additional info email so I assume I didnt get it even though it said they were moving forward?
I think they are just figuring out group placements, l don’t think they got to everyone today.
Congrats to those who have received offers!
Anyone heard back for GCM?
Just waiting to hear back after my second round (GCM). I’m thinking another week or two.
Any updates from IBD?
Congrats to everyone receiving offers across the various programs. I found out today I will not be among you(GCM), but to even be considered by a firm of this stature is amazing. Best of luck, and share your experiences when you’re up there.
Anyone hear about the IBD Program?

Hi, is this program for FT? missed it and applied to IED 2022 SA
Hey guys and gals. Just seeing what became of the programs for IBD, GCM, etc? Are those of you who made it digging NYC? I love the firm's outreach to minorities through programs like these and the HBCU Scholars and Virtual Advisor programs they just launched.
if anyone is still interested in the program, let's set up a 10 min convo if you are a strong candidate. the new application circle is coming for the upcoming class.
Hey, I am interested in this opportunity and currently working for MS.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I've put in an application for this year's cohort and would appreciate whatever tips you can provide, from hirevue to superday and other interviews.
Thanks
Hi, Did anyone apply for S&T program ? When can we expect to hear back?
If anyone needs help prepping for the interviews, please feel free to reach out to me, happy to help in anyway that l can
Hey, Need help please
Hello I’d need a bit of prep ahead of the interview. Please let me know how you would want us to proceed. Thank you
Hi,
Thanks for offering to assist.
I've applied for the 2022 program and I'm looking to put my best foot forward, I'd appreciate any tip you can provide either here or elsewhere.
regards
Has anyone applied to S&T in London?
I have, just got through the hirevue stage, how about you?
