Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Yes! My line manager made my experience at Morgan Stanley very comfortable. I was welcomed into the team, and made aware that no question was a silly question!
During my first few weeks I shadowed all team members to get an overall overview of the team and to meet everyone - everyone in the team had time for me and made me feel welcome.
I also had a buddy who I met with once a week - very helpful with learning soft skills such as OneNote, Iconf and Outlook Calendar.
