I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
I spoke with an executive director who was a mutual connection and they brought me in their offices for an interview a week later. Spoke with 3 separate executive directors and were asked behavioral questions about me, my past and then questions about my thoughts on the market. Each interview was a one on one experience. No question was overly difficult, they were concerned about your people skills and if you were genuinely interested in private wealth management
1st round of interview was on a zoom audio call. Basically a 'walk me through your resume'. Be prepared to have a compelling story and know your talking points. Do not just go through your resume line by line.

Tell me about yourself and walk me through your resume.
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview was straight forward if you have some sort of financial experience and can answer technical questions. Additionally, would highly recommend you brush on your three statement modeling skills.
Wasn't too difficult, just talked about my background, my school, and why I wanted the position. Definitely just know your resume and be prepared to expand upon it, especially if you have prior sales experience.
