The best part of my
summer experience at Morgan Stanley was…
working on a project that would actually go to production. I was able to take
responsibility for my own projects, which really made me feel like I added value
to the team. My team members were always willing to help and answer my
questions, and my manager gave me regular feedback. My mentor was very important
to me during my internship—our discussions over coffee or lunch were a great
opportunity to talk over issues I wouldn’t necessarily discuss with my manager.
Also, in addition to all the networking events which were held especially for
the Summer Analysts and Co-ops, I could also join social committees, networks
and sports teams.
The best part of my
job was…
working in a global team to start building my network of peers and technical
experts and understanding how to solve the most challenging financial problems,
whether that involved meeting the needs of businesses, designing or programming
or testing the latest software, resolving a hardware issue in Hong Kong or
helping to manage a major outage preventing our clients from connecting to our
trading platform in California.
As a Technology
Summer Analyst…
I was working on a real world project that added value to my team and provided
me a first-hand knowledge of what it's like to be a technologist for a
world-class financial firm. My internship required first-rate technical skills,
as well as strong analytical, problem solving and communication skills.
Technologists interested in developer roles have experience in at least one
programming language (eg. C++, Java, C#). Those interested in engineering roles
have experience in operating systems, computing hardware, and related
technology. Those looking for business Analyst roles have an understanding of
the technology life cycle and can identify process improvements.
Technology Summer
Analysts and Co-ops can go on to…
full-time jobs at Morgan Stanley, where they have an opportunity to become
future senior leaders at the firm and leaders within the industry. The knowledge
and networks you start to build as a Summer Analyst or Co-op will advance your
career as a subject matter expert, project manager, team leader or an enterprise
leader.
I selected the
Technology department because…
I could develop and implement cutting-edge technologies used by thousands of end
users. Our technology industry partners used us to test their technology and
incorporate our feedback before their products go to market. I was excited to
work with some of the world’s most talented technologists. Launching my career
at Morgan Stanley allowed me to be at the forefront of technology innovation.
I chose to start my career in Financial
Services because…
I was impressed by how everyone I met had a strong technical background. I was
also excited about enhancing my skills through the global training program,
which helped me to launch my career. I knew I’d be given a lot of responsibility
and the chance to work with and be a leader in innovative technology.
My division is
responsible for…
working as a strategic partner with our business units and the world’s leading
technology companies to redefine how we do business in global financial markets
that are increasingly fast-moving and complex. Morgan Stanley’s major investment
in technology results in quantitative trading systems, cutting-edge modeling and
simulation software, comprehensive risk and security systems and robust
client-relationship capabilities, plus the world-class infrastructure that forms
the backbone of these systems and tools. Our clients value Morgan Stanley
insights, applications and infrastructure which add competitive advantage to
their businesses, and to ours.
