Morgan Stanley LA? Insight?

Have a first rounder with these guys next week. I'm from the east coast but I'd love the opportunity to work in Beverly Hills. Does anyone know what sort of deals they work on? I've heard its primarily M&A execution -if anyone has interviewed or knows about the group please let me know. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

LA office covers media (which includes gaming). It's not just execution. Small office and you can work on real deals. Office is not in Beverly hills but you will cover film studios

 

k...i guess i'll tell you more about me.

you can probably tell from the name, i'm a junior looking for summer experience...got offers to a few places but have narrowed it down to these three...

 

get the offer and try leveraging it to MS Tech M&A Menlo or MS NYC. If chances are slim, DB (while not considered greatest bank) is very strong in Lev Fin and RE. Those are its top 2 groups.
