We from MS received an Update and no mention of FT :( Title says everything. I am beyond devastated and I don't know why MS does not follow the steps of Citi and Moelis. I think that MS will lose a lot of talent with this move

MS will lose talent because no mention of FT? Right right makes sense. Better apply to other BB's like RBC now.

 

yeah there is absolutely no way MS recovers from this. their days of being a BB are done. wouldn’t be surprised if they go under or are bought out by Moelis or something at this point

 

Some of you guys (not all) are so entitled. Morgan Stanley may not be offering FT offers, but this just means you have to work for it- nothing wrong with that. In fact, it will feel much better once you go through that battleground. It will give you a sense to see if IBD is right for you and a sense to MS if you are right for them. Getting through the traditional way will only be a positive stamp of approval going in FT in 2021. These kids at Citi will not have this same luxury and for some kids it will be "devastating" when they realize they are in WAY over their heads and have no idea how stressful this job can actually be.
