Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Meetings with manager and co-workers, programming in Java, AngularJS, learning how to run Spring Boot, feedback sessions with other co-workers on the product I was developing.

I was the sole person in charge of the project I was developing, and it was a project that is going to have a significant impact on the day to day operations of the team I was working under. This made me feel useful and meant feedback was always constructive, since the tool could always be improved.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my team very much as they were extremely friendly and helpful. The work I was given pushed me on occasions and taught me a lot, which was my central aim for the summer, and the internship exceeded my expectations since it was online, and I didn't have high expectations for an online internship.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Morgan Stanley to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Morgan Stanley
Be yourself, do not listen to the media/prejudices about the environment at investment banks, since the environment at the technology department is amazing. I would also recommend prepping heavily for interviews, as they are extensive and fast-paced.
