Met with 4 separate interviewers in New York for super day. About 15 other candidates in the room separated by portable walls. About 30 minutes for each interview . Behavioral questions and big focus on technical questions

What is the square root of 720? What is the typical duration of an investment grade bond?
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in May 2025
Interview
It is a very structured first round. i expected it to be very hard at first. However, it is very competitive so it makes sense that not everyonce can advance to the second round.
30-minute phone call made by analyst, not an alum from my uni. Called 10 minutes before set time. Mostly behavioral with the exception of 2 simple technical questions and one brain teaser.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
It was great, I think that I did not have enough structure and was very stressed. However, I did not too much about the role and I think that factor played a huge part in the interview.
