Morgan Stanley 2019 SA Megathread
Figured since MS just officially opened their applications for summer 2019 I’d start a megathread to keep track of updates. Has anyone applied yet?

Anyone who got accepted in the accelerated process know when/how offer letters are sent out? Doesn't seem to be through the MS portal but also haven't seen an email.
my recruiter told me I'd receive it in June, haven't gotten anything yet.
.
Application is very quick. I applied yesterday, there is no immediate "test" or hirevu attached
Any rising sophomores applying? I know they have a specific sophomore 2019 app but that may just be for diversity (I applied anyway). Not sure if it would be a good idea to apply to this when I already applied to all the sophomore 2019 apps including S&T, IBD, cap markets?
What are the rising sophomores putting on their resumes? Assuming you haven’t touched finance/economics related classes yet
Just got a hirevue for 2019 SA IBD in New York. Any one know the type of questions they ask?
Got one for the 2019 SA for Capital Markets as well.
When did you apply?
Did you do the hirevue? What were the questions? Were they the same for IBD and GCM?
Hey, could you let me know which questions you got for the Hirevue! It would be much appreciated!!
Can you give some insight into the GCM questions?
Is there a time limit to complete the Hirevue by?
July 28th which is the deadline for Early Action
Just got one as well and wondering the same thing.
what is the timeline for MS?
.
is this for real? at a target for ms and I don't think anyone at our school has gotten offers yet.
I'm only seeing an application for sophomores graduating december 2020-spring 2021
Edit: I was looking directly at the application but somehow missed it
has anyone done the Hirevue yet?
are early application (7.25 ddl) roiling or they won't start reviewing until the ddl?
Can you apply to more than one program? I'm thinking of applying to the sophomore programs for equity research and investment banking but just want to make sure you can apply to both
For the sophmore 2019 I did in fact I’m pretty sure I applied to all of them like IB, ER, S&T, GCM
You can apply up to three programs.
I applied to three programs (the max). Diversify = Better Chances for Success. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and that includes BBs too.
Ok good. Also I'm applying for the sophomore programs so BBs are really all I could find
would u mind sharing the MS equity research hirevue questions with me? I'm abroad rn and super behind haha. thanks so much!!
Hiii I can share JP if you share equity research with me :)
.
Did anyone do the hirevues yet?
anyone know if wealth management does hirevues?
Does anyone know when apps close? asking because I'm in the middle of applying to a target business school and won't find out for a week or so
Due date for the hirevues are around the end of July, so I'm guessing by then as well
Anyone do Hirevue? What were the questions? Does everyone get the Hirevue? Are hirevue questions the same across divisions?
Just got the hirevue. I guess no one is gonna do it until someone post what the questions are?
Hm... I’ll do mine in a few days and post the questions afterwards (if someone doesn’t beat me to it first).
Lmao everyone's just waiting....might just do it now
Bump for MS Hirevue
A friend did the hirevue and he said there were 2 questions. A question regarding a current transaction in the market and a behavioral regarding ethics.
Were they single or multiple attempt?
Single I'm sure
Which division did he do the HireVue for?
This is for IBD
I got an email from MS NY recruiting saying that I have been "referred to Morgan Stanley". Anyone know anything about the MS's referral system? (i.e auto first round or?).
PS: I'm from a west coast school (think Stanford, UCB, etc.), so non-core.
I also got this in late April- does anyone else know what exactly this means?
lol how is Stanford/Berkeley non-core? they're the two best on the west coast
Anyone do capital markets hirevue? Are the questions the same as ib?
Interested in this as well
do you know the Qs for ib?
Does anyone know if you go directly to a super day after the hirevue like GS does?
interested as well
what were the questions for the HireVue?
No one's gonna answer.
I did the hirevue - my two questions were something like this: 1. What about Morgan Stanley makes you want to work at our firm? 2. What do you expect to gain from the summer analyst role?
Was this for IB??
How much time did you have to talk for and how much prep time did you get?
^^
How soon after submitting the application have you guys been receiving the HireVue? I go to a target school and submitted on Monday, but I haven't received anything yet so I'm getting a bit worried...
3-4 days after submission for me
Does it matter how soon after receiving the HireVue you respond to the video? Does responding later put your application at a disadvantage?
I think so, because offers are given out on a rolling basis, so the later you do it, the lower the amount of spaces available. Thats what I think though, correct me if im wrong
MS HireVue:
I just recently recorded the HireVues for MS and from what I've read in here and what I just saw, there are no set questions. I received one questions asking "Talk about a time when you thought something wasn't right and how you approached the problem and found a solution," and one asking "Talk about a recent transaction that has interested you."
Aside from that, you have two attempts at each question, and more than 2 minutes in between your first and second attempt to think about your answer.
thanks!! how long did u have to talk/respond?
1.5 minutes for each
were these for IB?
Yeah I can confirm I took mine yesterday
Yhup. I did my hirevue today and these were the questions I got asked too. Prepare guys! Goodluck!
does anyone know if the hirevue questions are the same across divisions?
Talked to an MS Vice Chair from my town yea bish i got that fat CV push - they're gonna start phone screens at the end of this month, superdays in august and july
Is this for core or non-core candidates?
Where do you go to apply? Morgan Stanely's website? Is there a way to sign up for HIRE VUE?
Has anyone done the Global Capital Markets Hirevue yet? Are the questions the same as IBD?
bump
Questions aren't the same for GCM. Structure is. 1.5 mins per question, you get 1 redo.
Did GCM and got different questions
Hi, could you please PM me the whole list of questions, thanks!
Is there any reason not to apply for the Early Action as opposed to waiting for the July period?
Has anyone gotten a hirevue for the sophomore internship?
Yes
I just submitted. How long did it take for you?
Anyone else get an invite to a Super Day yet? I'm a girl and don't own the slightest bit of Wall Street attire. If it were my decision I'd wear some ripped jeans and birks lol....lmk if anyone has any tips.
Did you have a phone screen or just HireVue --> Super Day? Also, ripped jeans + birks is the plan, lmk how it goes
lol they'd probably tell me to leave if i showed up like that. and i did the hirevue a couple days ago and then got the inv, was not expecting it at all
Is this for IB?
hell no
Wear either a skirtsuit or pantsuit. For shoe neutral color heels/flats
Anyone have any idea on Hirevue questions for Institutional Equity?
bump!
well?
great
Any luck on the questions?
Anyone got a phone interview after completing the hirevue yet? I'm from a nontarget.
Curious as well. Was it for IB or Capital Markets?
How "potential" of a candidate are you if you receive the hirvue. Just gauging what to expect because i'm from a non target
I think the majority of people seem to be getting them, but it does look like they do go and actually comb through the apps, so probably some basic attrition.
Hirevues seem to be given to everyone. However, we should update each other when MS starts to give out first round phone screens after submitting Hirevues for IB!
Had a call with an Analyst who literally interviewed on over the networking call after I told him I've applied.
What kind of stuff did he ask? Also for what office? I’ve heard the same happen for CS
Walk me through a dcf, how do the financial statements connect, basic LBO questions - I did have prior IB and PE internship experience tho
for some schools they go straight from Hirevues-> superdays. happened at my school for JPM, GS. seems pretty much anyone got a hirevue so not too much emphasis on it
how long after applying did you guys receive the hirevue?
2 and a half days after
Still haven't heard back after I submitted my hirevue. is this a ding?
I haven’t heard after a week either, but had a referral. Assuming they are sending them out in waves.
Does anyone know if multiple referrals count the same as one referral or no?
Could you explain what you mean?
I got the 2 referral emails from MS recruiting at different times (I would say within a span of 2 weeks) through networking.
Have other people heard after HireVue for IB or S&T?
I have not heard back from them either. I sent my application Thursday last week, and have not gotten a HireVue yet. Are the hirevues going out in waves as mentioned above or what is the deal? I applied to Fixed Income and Research
One of the questions for Fixed Income: 1. Why do you want to pursue a career in Fixed Income Sales and Trading?
and I believe the other one was "what is something that you noticed was wrong and how did you approach the situation?" or something like that.
I did three Hirevues back to back, so I am a little shaky on the second question for Fixed Income.
Thank you! It has officially been 5 business days since I applied so I am worried that I didnt go through the first screening. Someone mentioned HireVues are coming out in waves so hopefully I will get a HireVue with the next wave.
If you could share with me the fixed income questions I can share BAML or JP with you!
Yeah, not sure what's going on. I applied to IB and Risk last week and have great referrals.
I applied to IB and got the hirevue a few days after. Did the hirevue a week ago. Recently applied for Capital Markets and received hirevues 2 days later as well. Wondering what the questions are for Capital Markets?
Do the referral emails mean anything in terms of getting the first round phone screen?
Anyone know the questions for institutional equities?
anyone know when superday invites are being sent out
anyone know equity research qs?
.
Did anyone find out if Hirevues are being sent in waves?
Has anybody done the hirevue for emerging markets or Global sales yet? I got the email about the hirevue for emerging makets but am still waiting for the ones for global sales and fixed income. I applied to those 2 today though so I should get them in the next couple of days hopefully.
If you could share with me the fixed income questions I can share BAML or JP with you!
I did 3 hirevues, FI, Emerging Markets, and institutional sales and got the same questions for all of them. They were just "why do you want a career in xxxxx field" and some variation of when you solved a problem in a group. the 2 variations I got were "A time you had to convince a group to do something" and "a time where you solved a problem". Pretty simple questions in my opinion/
Has anyone done the hirevue for Public Finance or know anything about how PB recruits?
did the Hirevue for ny a few weeks ago. Gonna do the one for sf this weekend.
what do you mean sf?
How were the questions for the PB hirevue?
If you could share with me the fixed income questions I can share BAML or JP with you!
Submitted my HireVue today, has anyone heard anything since their HireVue?
how long did you wait for the HireVue to be sent to you?
I got it 4-5 days after submitting the application.
Just submitted my HireVue today, have you heard anything back yet or have a timeline on when we will get a superday invite? Hope yours went well and you get a spot!
Thanks man, hope yours went well too. I applied to the sophomore program as a non diversity student so definitely limited chances haha. Have not heard anything back yet, doesn't seem like anyone else has either. No idea what the timeline/recruiting process moving forward will be like.
If you could share with me the fixed income questions I can share BAML or JP with you!

hirevue to superday
Seems unlikely considering most people got the HireVue. What are your sources?
Any Canadians hear back from Morgan Stanley Toronto concerning the summer reception?
Got an acceptance email yesterday afternoon highlighting the details of the event.
Is there a time limit to complete the Hirevue by? I mean between the invite to Hirevue and the deadline of Hirevue? Thanks
It should say on the Hirevue email. I am applying for the sophomore program and it was Sept. 9. It might be different for you.
I've heard rumors about superdays' being held either this upcoming week or the week after. Any insights?
did those people have a phone screen in between hirevues and superdays? and do those people have exploding offers?
Bump
bump
have any superdays gone out for GCM?
MS does OCR at my school and I'm still scheduling the second round. Superdays not out yet
