MS Culture Preppy?
I recently accepted an offer for MS summer 2023 and I did no networking (got very lucky lol) so I know little about the culture. I've been trying to read previous threads to learn more about the culture and found mixed stuff. On one hand, I keep on reading that MS is very preppy/fratty, but on the other hand I read that most of the interns and analysts are filled from diversity recruiting, which I would assume is not a very preppy group of people (also highly doubt this since I did no networking and I'm nondiverse). I'm just trying to get a general feel of the firm so I'll kind of know what to expect next summer since I got lucky to even get an interview/offer at MS.
is this for ibd?
It's the opposite really, all those diversity recruits come from rich families.
As a woman from a wealthy family, this is very true. Only the black girls are from poor families from my experience (at a BB)
are you looking for a stay at home husband?
How's the culture in gcm?
Seems pretty fratty. Signed my 2023 at an ISG division in MS so I've networked/spoken with ~30 people across divisions and a lot of people seem to fit that stereotype. I will say though that out of IBD, GCM and S&T the "fratty" kind of guys were in GCM in my experience.
Depends on team, some are more fratty some are more nerdy
Pretty wide spectrum imo
NatRes = Yale DKE
FIG = Your HS’s Math Team
GCM is definitely on the frattier side, a lot of former college athletes
Yale DKE = Nerds, so the conclusion is that IBD are nerds and GCM are fratty people.
