I was wondering if you guys had any information about the MS Chicago Office?
How many summer analysts do they usually take?
What are some of the groups in the office?
What are their strong groups?
And any general information is appreciated.

I never saw any info about their chicago office...I know they have wealth management there but i never saw any other positions there listed
They take a few summers every year but I would exercise extreme caution with this office. You'll have Morgan Stanley on your resume and it'll be really easy to lateral to wherever you want in whatever city you want, but there's not much more to say other than they are known for being pricks and having a terrible culture. You'll be miserable, and I would take many Chicago offices and almost any semi-prestigious New York office over MS Chicago.
Morgan Stanley Chicago - Interested in the office (Originally Posted: 08/27/2010)
I was really interested in the Chicago office of MS. Does anyone have any info on the office, what kind of deals they are on and generally how is the deal flow there. Generally how are regional offices of BB firms looked upon by buyside firms ? Is it easy to switch to NYC in that case.
only guy i know who did analyst there ended up at magnetar afterwords
don't know much else about the office though. supposedly a complete sweatshop, mostly middle market deals. they claim to execute out of the office "when possible," but not really sure what that means. tiny office, like three analysts per class.
supposedly MS Chicago is more cut off from the NY office than some of the other BB's, but that is only what I heard from an intern who worked in the office so take that with a grain of salt
i know a guy who just finished an internship there... said it was a great experience and yes it was a very small office.. only a couple other interns.
Thanks for the information. Based on this information the class size is only 3-4 analysts and the deal flow would be solid because of MS but its all going to be Mid Mkt. Did the interns you guys knew continue for FT over there. Exit opps from the office seem to be decent just because of the brand name. I guess their main target schools would be Chicago and Northwestern. Any more information would be much appreciated.
You can find useful and important information on the site www.relbanks.com.
the guy i know accepted full-time... he really enjoyed it.

MS Chicago first round (Originally Posted: 11/16/2013)
Wondering if anyone has experience with this group, first round interview for their chicago IBD office on monday. I think they are a generalist office with a focus towards industrials. anything i should know about the people or what to expect? anyone interviewed with them before?
anyone?
Hey, I've recruited here. I just want you to know that this group is only for sourcing deals. They do very little in house execution and a lot of sourcing for NY. They peaked in 08 when they did a bunch of auto deals but since then, not so hot.
MS Chicago (Originally Posted: 09/12/2011)
Does anyone have any info on Morgan Stanley's Chicago office? The only thing I know is that they work on MM deals and have a very small (3-4 analysts/class) office.
Curious about what the interview process is like, deal flow, groups, industries they work on, and anything that makes them "stand out".
Thanks.
bump!

Stay away
care to elaborate?
No deal flow, horrible culture, 100+ hr weeks working on only pitch books. Before the start of this summer, all of the analysts quit except for one. They had 3 interns this summer and none of them want to go back
Morgan Stanley Chicago - Info? (Originally Posted: 03/11/2007)
Please share if you have any information on this group. What groups are located there and are they strong?
Does it carry the MS name, what are the exit opportunities out of it?
bump
I have never heard the office mentioned before (by bankers, not on this forum) when discussing who's good in Chicago.
Pretty small group/office. In terms of exit ops, i have seen 1 analyst out of the MS chicago office go to Hellman & Friedman but thats only 1 instance.
MS? what is that.. there is only GS
Any information on Morgan Stanley's Chicago office? (Originally Posted: 10/31/2012)
Does anybody here have any information on Morgan Stanley's Chicago IBD office? I've done a search on this forum, and there's little to no information available.
From what I can gather, MS Chicago:
Any information on culture/hours/exit opps?
Bump!
Did you hear back? I had an interview with them on Monday.
if u r from ross, superday is next Tuesday.
Industrials and consumer retail focus is true. I would consider MS the #2 to JPM in Chicago. As far as culture, it is a very tight nit group with about 20-30 bankers in total (7-8 analysts, I know of one each from USC and ND). They have a Vice Chairman who sits there as well. Core schools for their office are definetely ND and UofM- many people in the office are huge Notre Dame fans and they actually have company events around the Fighting Irish football season. IMHO (FWIW) the office was a bit too fratty for my liking (even the senior bankers).
Has anyone heard back from the superday?
anyone hear back from this tuesday's superday?
got my offer yesterday
Has anyone else heard back? Did anyone get called with a no?
