Morgan Stanley 2020 SA HireVue Questions

Asked for HireVue immediately after submitting application. Given 48 hours to do it. 2 questions, each with 1 retry attempt. Each question gave 30 second prep time, then 90 seconds to answer the question. Same questions as last year.

What's a recent transaction that you're interested in?
What's a time you saw something wrong in a team/project/activity you were doing? How did you react? What did you do?

Were the HireVues automatic? I did not got a HireVue and I applied yesterday

 

>What's a recent transaction that you're interested in?

Any suggested resources to cultivate a response to this?

 

I did the Hirevue last Friday for IB and got an e-mail today to do an assessment online, which includes; situation judgement question, numerical questions , and logical reasoning. Anyone else get this? Have not heard of anyone receiving this.

 

I got a similar test from Credit Suisse a few days ago. It's essentially a tightly time limited logic and reasoning test. The numerical is a bunch of charts and graphs and they ask you questions about the data on them, you have to say, true, false, or cannot tell. The logical reasoning is similar but with passages instead of numbers.

Just got MS HireVue today as well.

 

I checked the application center today, and found it said thank you for submitting the online assessment. It made me so confused because I never did an online assessment. Anyone knows what's going on??? I guess there is a problem in the system side that we have received the online assessments sent to the European peers?

 
"yangang" yeah I think so, and none of us could do it as it said online assessments were already completed

I completed mine on Saturday afternoon and submitted. I’ll see what happens.

 

I'm a US student, took the online assessment within ~48 hours; you only had two days to do the assessments, so if you waited that might be why you're not able to anymore.

I got to round 27 on the switchChallenge and don't think of myself as strong in quant at all. I have friends that could probably score 40+ with ease.

Why would you even take the test? You said you already signed with a BB. If you were to receive a superday interview, that would effectively be one less interview for someone else - most likely someone without an offer.

 
Funniest

Relax man, I take the assessments and stuff so I can let my boys know what to expect. They need to secure the bag as well

 

Prime brokerage is quite similar - 1) Why are you interested in prime brokerage 2) Describe which skills you have developed through your professional, educational, or personal experiences that will make you successful in a client service role

 
 

Does anyone have Morgan Stanley Asia Hirevue questions? (specifically HK office) Just got a 20-min HireVue yesterday. Hope someone can give advice on this.

 

Hey do you mind sharing the MS HK Qs? I received an invite for MS singapore, so its non competitive, if you dont mind. I could give you my CS hirevue Qs, might be similar?

 

Anyone know if things have kicked off? Finished the hirevue and assessments for ibd a while back and was wondering if they haven't started the process or if I just got dinged

I received an email from MS on Friday that the deadline has passed and that they are going to start reviewing the Hirevue and the application on a rolling basis. Also, the majority of the interviews will take place from August - October. I applied to WM NY.

 

for Sales and Trading I've got the following (not exact but you get it):

  • importance of a diverse environment
  • how unconventional fiscal and monetary policy changes the way people evaluate investment decisions?
  • if you have 100b how will you invest?
  • Think of something you know that is complicated and explain to me

After the question is revealed to you, you have 30s to prep and 90s to record. After that you get to review your video and it will pause and you decide whether you want to re-record. That's a good time to find out some stuff if you have no clue what the question is about.

hope that helps.

 

Hi! Anyone can advice on how long it took for them to get back after the hirevue? I applied to Singapore ibd. Received online assessment 3 days after submitting application. And after submitting my online assessment, received ibd hirevue few hours later
