Morgan Stanley London IBD lateral opportunities
I have been looking at the lateral market for the past 10 months in London, and in all this time I have not seen a single job post on Morgan Stanley´s website with an IBD opening (neither product or coverage), meanwhile at similar places like JPM or GS you see opportunities in M&A, Healthcare, Real Estate or Industrials on a regular basis.
I find very difficult to believe that a bank with such a scale won't have any openings in almost a year. Do you guys know if MS uses recruiters instead of advertising their positions? Or is the situation that bad at MS that they won't hire anyone no matter what?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights regarding Morgan Stanley's hiring practices:
LinkedIn Job Postings: There have been instances where Morgan Stanley has posted FT Analyst positions on LinkedIn. However, users have reported that these postings sometimes result in immediate rejections, suggesting that the positions might not be actively hiring or are filled quickly.
Recruitment Practices: It's possible that Morgan Stanley uses recruiters or internal networks to fill positions rather than public job postings. This is a common practice among top-tier banks to streamline the hiring process and target specific candidates.
Market Conditions: The hiring situation can vary based on market conditions. For example, during economic downturns or specific industry challenges, banks might reduce hiring or be more selective.
Comparison with Other Banks: While JPM and GS might have more visible openings, it doesn't necessarily mean that Morgan Stanley isn't hiring. They might be using different channels or have fewer openings due to internal staffing strategies.
If you're actively looking for lateral opportunities at Morgan Stanley, consider reaching out to recruiters who specialize in finance roles or networking with current employees to get a better understanding of their hiring practices.

Only time I have been heard of a MS mandate was through an internal MS HR/recruiter reaching out never through independents.
It is possibly a mixture of adverse market conditions , firm specifics and internal promotions or reshuffling.
Often done via referrals or networks.
Very rarely headhunters for London in my experience.
