MS London IB OC
Hey,
I have been invited for the AC for the IB OC at MS and I wanted to ask if anyone has any insights regarding the interviews, in particular the case study.
Cheers.

haven't done it myself but normally there's a numerical test, then a business plan case with a presentation and final interview with ED / MD
Normally they mix the GCM and IBD OCs and SAs also but not sure if that's changed
curious to ask on your timeline and when you did your HV and TI because I am at the HV stage at the moment
Same here. Would be rlly helpful to know
How long did it take to hear between Phone and AC?
Bump
It took me 1w after the TI
You did yours last week or before that?
Week before
Anyone here still waiting after the HV??
Depends when did you do your HV?
Got the HV about a week ago but nothing since completion. Only worried because I know MS tends to move quite quickly. Have you heard back yet?
Anyone still waiting after TI? Did mine 9th Oct so assuming been dinged
Did you end up hearing back? had my TI on the same day..
yeah got AC, seems to just be slow
Saw one offer for jan intake anounced on LinkedIn the other day
There was one for July start, didn't see Jan start
I also asked someone who is at MS and they said they have given out very few Jan starts
Yeah I saw July as well as the January offer but the January one appears to have disappeared- must have been deleted.
Anyone knows when i should hear back after final round? I just did my final round on last Friday and still waiting to hear back. Appreciate mine is for MSIM, not IB so would love to know when you guys heard back for offer after the AC.
Next day for offer, and another mate 2 days for offer
Hi, What role is this for? the real estate investing?
Not but for a diff division at MS. Offers tend to come quickly if everyone is in agreement but waiting isn’t unheard of

The case itself isn’t anything crazy. I’d focus on being comfortable with valuation, basic accounting and walking through a transaction logically rather than trying to prep for some super specific case. Also be ready to defend your assumptions, they seem to care more about how you think than getting every number perfect. Good luck!
Week before
Bump！

Based on what others have shared, I plan to focus on valuation, basic accounting, and transaction logic, while practicing how to clearly explain my assumptions and reasoning. The goal is to demonstrate structured thinking and problem-solving during the case discussion, rather than just getting every number perfectly.

anyone heard back yet??
did they give you a time limit for the case? That always makes it way more stressful
Theres always a time limit. You don’t get it in advance? How would that work.
Are AC's for IB August intake over or still going? silence since my TI about 4 weeks ago..
Bump
What sort of questions does the TI usually involve? Appreciate the help
