I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Baltimore, MD) in Feb 2015
Interview
Long but they stay in constant communication with you and are always available for questions. You interview the head of every branch manager in your area regardless of which office you'll actually be working in.

Interview was in person which I thought was unnecessary giving the current climate. However, it was a review of my resume and how it aligned with the job app. There were two interviewers, one of whom would be a peer and they asked about salary expectations in the interview which was uncomfortable as I wasn’t prepared to discuss that information with someone I would be working with, but not in a supervisory manner

Question 1
Why do you think you’d be a good fit for this role
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Hunt Valley, MD) in Aug 2024
Interview
I didn't like it. The interviewer did not seem interested in me from the beginning of the conversation. The interviewer proceeded to tell me that they were looking to start a new team and I would be trained on whatever I needed to know. Somehow with all of my financial services knowledge, I didn't get a second interview. The interviewer didn't even bother to ask me questions. I knew I wasn't getting the job before I got off the phone.

Question 1
Describe your previous experience in the financial services industry.
