I worked within the operations department for 13 weeks
My days consisted of working on assigned projects and attending group meetings with my teams where I would update them on progress within my projects and any obstacles I had encountered.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given a lot of responsibility. I had 3 individual projects over the 13 weeks which I had to complete, my boss also allowed me to see what would be done with my finished projects which allowed me to understand the importance of them more

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Morgan Stanley to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Morgan Stanley
DO IT, whether you think the finance industry is for you or not, it is so worth applying. I never was into finance prior to this internship so was sceptical as to how much I would enjoy it, but it’s really opened my eyes into how broad the industry is. It is an opportunity not to be turned down
