Had an AC in New York for the London office on Jan 13, and wonder usually how long does it take to hear the result?

MS AC S&T (Originally Posted: 01/22/2012)
Hello everyone, I'll attend an AC at Morgan Stanley london office soon for S&T, and would like to know more about the "group exercise". I know that for Invesment Banking they ask each candidate to act as head of a department of some random firm, and the goal is to reach a compromise with other candidates on the budget allocation for different projects.
But I don't think that this is the same as in S&T, so what's exactly expected during the group exercice ?
And also of what nature is the "presentation" ?
Thanks a lot !
Not sure specifically, but when doing group exercises...make sure you play nice with your teammates and be the kind of leader that doesn't do everything, but organizes the group to play on each persons strengths...actually it is best to make the other people look good as well.
At my place (not MS but a BB) our group exercise was almost exactly as you describe. Each person in the group is given a project to assess, you then decide which ones to cut.
Don't get precious about your project if its not great then admit that and cut it straight away, allowing you to mediate the discussion between the other candidates. Also try and sit in the middle as you will naturally be the focal point.
