Morgan Stanley Private Equity Interview

Hey guys,

Does anyone know anything about MSPE? They seem very solid.

Curious to hear if anyone has any experience interviewing them and what to expect for an Associate role? Also would love to hear if anyone has perspectives on firm culture (in the PE group), comp, work / life balance, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Good guys - solid MM PE, but can leverage the infrastructure of MS, which is a great benefit as compared with a traditional standalone MM firm. I really like the guys over there as well, so would say culture is quite strong (in my opinion).

Don't hire a ton from internal MS, for better or for worse -- compare with GS that has a lot of internal mobility resulting in movement into the PE arm.
