I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (London, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
Interviewed with 2 members of the MSIM team. No behaviourals, started with asking about my past experience, what companies I am following, and imagining a scenario (bit like a case study) and asking questions about what I would do as the investor. One of the interviewers seemed disinterested, but the other one was nice.
The OA was quite difficult involving aptitude, debugging and programming qns. The aptitude was most time consuming and where mostly pictorial and needed much time to solve. Debugging is better and included easier qns.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
Straightforward, more focus on fit and eagerness than market knowledge. Everyone was kind, interviews were short but I talked to people in various teams. Multiple stages online then I eventually received an offer in person.
