Morgan Stanley’s Post

Here are a few examples of crucial indicators for businesses focused on being a catagory leader: 1) what do clients think, where do they spend their time and money? 2) can they attract the brightest grads to work / learn / build a career there? 3) does trust & integrity abound? 4) humility, are the employees moniacly focused on improving the offering and how much do they care? One of the several truly jaringly differentiated things about about this place is the people. They drive our service and culture forward. Excited to meet this years Summer Analysts and feeling their enthusiasm.

These are the top 10 investment banks to work for👇 (According to GlassDoor employee satisfaction) 1. Goldman Sachs 2. Bank of America 3. JP Morgan 4. Barclays 5. Nomura Holdings 6. TD 7. Jefferies 8. Evercore 9. Guggenheim Partners 10. Centerview Partners As an ex-employee of Goldman Sachs, I can confirm, first hand that the ratings above seem accurate. These banks are highly competitive. Most receive more than 50k students applications a year. So make sure you have: → AAB (or better) at A levels → Internships from 1st year → Good commercial awareness → Standout cover letters and CVs → Strong valuation and financial modelling skills Remember, success is the sum of small efforts executed efficiently.

As I reflect on my decade-long career journey at Goldman Sachs, one lesson stands out: The importance of asking questions. From my early days to where I am now, I've learned that curiosity and asking questions fuels GROWTH. So here's a reminder to myself and to all of you - NEVER shy away from asking questions. It's not about having all the answers every single time, it's about having the COURAGE to seek them. Let's embrace CURIOSITY and keep ASKING, keep LEARNING, and keep GROWING. More power to you! :) #Curiosity #CareerJourney #AskQuestions #Growth

🌟 Reflecting on an Incredible Journey 🌟 As my enriching summer 2023 internship with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management draws to a close, I am profoundly grateful for the remarkable friendships and indelible memories forged alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry. Contrary to common perception, wealth management is far more than figures and finances; it's about cultivating genuine connections and deep-seated trust with clients. Throughout my time at Morgan Stanley, I've discovered that the true essence of this profession lies in building unbreakable relationships that transcend transactions. Understanding a client's aspirations and desires forms the bedrock of our role. Guiding them along their unique financial voyage, armed with personalized insights, has been the most gratifying aspect of my journey. Being entrusted with the mantle of a wealth manager and financial advisor extends far beyond numbers – it's about safeguarding not just their wealth but their family's legacy, ensuring that the fruits of their labor endure for generations to come. As I embark on the next chapter of my career, I carry the wisdom gained from Morgan Stanley and the unwavering belief that the heart of wealth management beats with the rhythm of human connections. Here's to embracing the future with the lessons of the past and the bonds that time cannot diminish. 🚀📈 #WealthManagementJourney #GratitudeAndGrowth #MorganStanley #USC #USCMarshall

Hello Network, Yesterday I had an amazing experience at Goldman Sachs attending a fireside chat with the firm's CEO, David Solomon. During the occasion, I had the chance to engage with diverse individuals and absorb the insights and guidance shared by David. Here is some impactful advice from David that I think will be useful particularly to those of you at the beginning of your careers: 💡 “You’re at the beginning of a long journey, don’t be in a hurry” – Understandably, everybody wants to know what their destination is and what their career will be, but that’s just not how life works. It is much more fruitful to be in the moment and to enjoy the present. 💡 “Be authentic to yourself and tell your story” – You’ll be surprised at what opportunities come to you when you’re true to yourself and tell your story. For those of you who are undergrads at university like myself, these are three things which David thinks everybody should do while they’re at university: 💡 “No matter what you’re interested in, take accounting” – No matter what you go on to do in the world professionally, there will be some economic construct to it. Understanding and asking questions about the economic construct behind anything you do will help you be more successful in it. 💡 “Take public speaking” – The confidence to speak, present and express yourself is an invaluable tool that you will use throughout your journey no matter what. 💡 “Pursue something that you’re passionate about but that has nothing to do with what you think you’re supposed to be doing to achieve your professional goals” – You won’t have as much opportunities to explore passions after university. I'd like to express my thanks to Anna Skoglund for her facilitation of the discussion with David, and to Jessica Middleton and Kat Gorna for their invaluable insights on applications. In addition, I'd like to extend my appreciation to Clement Hutton-Mills and Pedro Dias Ferreira for generously sharing their experiences at Goldman Sachs, which have been truly inspiring and impactful. I am genuinely grateful to Goldman Sachs for hosting such an enlightening event, offering us invaluable insights into their ethos, beliefs, and guiding principles. #ExcellenceNotPerfection.
