Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first two days gave an overview of Morgan Stanley through talks, panel discussions and a charity project. The final two days were division specific and we had workshops with people in the division as well as an individual project.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We did not get much of an overview of the other divisions. The insight was mainly focused around the division that you have applied for.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I enjoyed meeting new people on the insight. But it was also quite intense, especially on the final two days. We were assigned a project and only given one night to prepare, which meant that everyone pulled all-nighters to finish the assignment. So it was intense and somewhat stressful, but that is expected from a high-performing company like Morgan Stanley. So, all in all, I am grateful for the insight because it did truly give an insight into banking and Morgan Stanley.
