I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Feb 2025
Interview
Hirevue was easy and all behavioral.
The first round was technical (brain teasers, basic TMAY, resume in beginning)
Superday felt very technical, they wanna see how you think. MD was behavioral, first VP was half and half but wanted to gauge your interest in MS/motivations/etc., third guy (VP) was all technical outside of TMAY
Q: a) if you had a 6-sided die and each number (x) corresponded with $x, how much would you pay to roll? b) how much would you pay if you were able to trash the first roll?
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in May 2025
Interview
It is a very structured first round. i expected it to be very hard at first. However, it is very competitive so it makes sense that not everyonce can advance to the second round.
30-minute phone call made by analyst, not an alum from my uni. Called 10 minutes before set time. Mostly behavioral with the exception of 2 simple technical questions and one brain teaser.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
It was great, I think that I did not have enough structure and was very stressed. However, I did not too much about the role and I think that factor played a huge part in the interview.
