Best IBD Groups at Morgan Stanley?
Hi all,
I will be interning at MS this summer for IBD and I have the group selection phase coming up. I am wondering if anyone can comment on the various IBD groups at MS regarding their culture, exit opps, hours, return offer rate, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone has tips regarding how to best position myself for the selection process, I am open to advice!
Thanks a lot.

Which office?
NYC
M&A, Media Com, Services, FSG
1) Nat Res 2) FIG 3) Pubfin 4) M&A 5) Tech 6) Industrials 7) All Else
What are your reasons? I've heard a lot about how Media & Comm is a top group and you didn't list it in your top 6.
not sure if srs...
To the OP, what are your long-term goals? And are you industry-agnostic at this point?
I am primarily thinking private equity long-term.
Yes, I am industry-agnostic as of right now but I do have some preferences which I will certainly take into account. For the sake of the thread though, in order to have unbiased opinion and to help others who are viewing this as well, I am curious to hear people's opinions when looking at the groups in a vacuum.
Surprised you'd put nat res at the top since their energy team is one of the weakest on the Street. Do they have strong mining and chemicals verticals?
Chemical vertical is very weak compared to CS, JPM, CS, DB, UBS
Public Finance above M&A? Bold strategy, Cotton.
?????
M&A!!!!
What locations is this for? Their Nat Res team in Europe is one of their weakest, definitely not number one... Go for M&A, FIG or Tech
Should really be:
1) M&A 2) Media/Comm 3) Tech 3) Transportation 4) Nat Res 5) The rest
More details on Transpo, tech vs others please? For exit
Hey Xando,
Great to meet you. I will also be joining the NY office as an IBD summer intern. I have not heard anything from HR about group selection yet. Have you heard anything/ do you know what the group selection timeline will be like for us? Thanks so much!
Hey cdhpartners,
Great to meet you as well! I have not heard of anything from HR either, but someone who interned last summer mentioned the process would happen around February. I believe it is a one day event in New York.
MS NY top groups are M&A, Media&Comm, P&U.
...
How about for MS HK (besides M&A)? Would also be great to know if there are differences in group "rankings" for PRC vs. non-PRC deals.
Any insight into their Energy group in Houston compared to the more spoken about groups (Jeff, RBC, CS)? Looking to recruit this upcoming cycle
.
Appreciate the insight, MS seems to be pretty under the radar here at WSO and even more so with their energy group. Have pretty strong connections in MS, WF, Jeff and BAML, any suggestions on which I should hone in on the most? Obviously spreading the net wide and getting to know the culture, but people seem to be great across the board in Houston
.
MS did BH/GE so OFS is stronk
M&A and Tech are their strongest groups
How is the tech group in NYC? I thought most of tech was run out of Menlo Park?
MS IBD SA team selection (LDN) (Originally Posted: 11/28/2017)
Hi all, I have recently been fortunate enough to win an MS IBD position in London and am looking for advice on which team to join for the Summer. Currently, I am looking in more detail at the industry teams and the M&A team as they are the most appealing to me, however I would greatly appreciate any insight into the different teams' reputations, any teams to avoid or any teams to gun for.
Good teams in London are:
FIG M&A Technology Media & Comms Healthcare
Interesting, thanks ! What do you think of the Nat Res team ?
Don't know much about it. I believe it has a good culture but longer hours than the average.
Does someone know how the selection process works?

Has anyone heard back from HR about their groups? This is specific to the 2018 summer analyst IBD role in the NYC office.
