If you interview with equities can you be placed with fixed income?

if you interview for equities, you're going to end up in equities - some banks recruit for S&T as a whole (eg - BoA), and some recruit specifically for trading, or specifically for sales (eg - Barclays).

thanks a lot. any clue as to how Morgan Stanley does this?

thanks

I disagree. If you show that you're particularly interested in equities and end up getting an offer... it'll probably be FOR equities. However, if they believe that your story and credentials would be a better fit in FI, then they may put you in that department.

Sorry, don't know about MS S&T in particular..

MS does equities and FI separately; I seem to remember equities interviews being divided into institutional and private client accounts, but I can't be sure.

you can definitely make a transfer within a bank (from equities to FI, or vice versa), but not within your orientation period, especially in these times.

you are right about that. institutional equities is a separate division from private clients
