Any information on the culture and type of work done at the Morgan Stanley office in Toronto?
They seem to be recruiting for an associate and a VP. Find recruiting for the latter to be a bit of an interesting one since open recruiting for VP-level up seems to be rare in Toronto.

i believe it’s generalist at least at analyst level (source: friend was in the team)
Used to work in an office taking the same elevator as these guys - most miserable looking motherfuckers on the planet lmaooooooooo
Yup. Bunch of sad fuckers
Bumping this.
Anyone have insight into deal flow, comp, WLB at Morgan Stanley Toronto? Right now there's an IB Analyst posting so thought it would be good to reheat this thread.
I believe MS Toronto is quite a mining focused shop. Talked to some people there who are all super great and nice, but heard from friends it’s pretty sweaty.
Interesting, no mention of mining in the job description.
Based off of LinkedIn it looks like they have a few former juniors from Credit Suisse.
The two IB MDs at MS Toronto both have natural resources backgrounds, but they also get involved in diversified files. Richard Tory (head of IBD Canada) is/was also the Global Head of Mining at MS, and Tom Greenberg has historically been an Energy / Infrastructure banker
I dont find the VPs there to be competent, tbh. I've interacted w/t a couple of extensively in the past. Obviously can't take names
Don’t know too much about the group but some of the best “exposure” in Toronto (sector wise). Basically all of Canadian banking is natural resources focused but MS Toronto gets their fair share of other deals (Penn/Score comes to mind off the top of my head) some not so recent deals would be like Onex/Westjet as well. Not too familiar with VP comp but would assume AN/ASO in line with MS comp though you’re getting paid cad.
The issue with MS Toronto is that a very large portion of their non-natural resources deals in Canada are led/executed by US teams. Sure, there may be a Toronto MD/VP on for support, but the vast majority of the work is done by the US team. TheScore was primarily led by the REGL team in the US. The Canacccord team was toronto based though
Gotcha - this makes sense to me appreciate the colour. Would probably be good as a junior looking to exit though cause at least maybe you get some resume value just off the deal names.
Has anyone heard back for the analyst role?
No, bro. Was wondering the same thing, haha.
it’s known to be mostly referral based, I applied anyways.
Brutal. Thought the role itself was a fagazi for a bit but another one bites the dust
Applied and interviewed - the old posting was removed and a new one reposted with fewer MOE needed.
Guessing they felt none of us were up to snuff.
For the analyst role that was posted a couple weeks back, does anyone know if they've hired for it?
Job post still says "Actively recruiting".
And just saw it as "Promoted" on LinkedIn. So they advertising it higher, haha.

Has anyone been contacted/in a process for the analyst role that was posted a month ago? Saw they're actively promoting the role on LinkedIn.
