Investment Banking

Analyst Program

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE

I selected a career in Investment Banking…
to learn business dynamics and hone my entrepreneurial interests. I enjoy the intellectually challenging, methodical nature of the work—instead of rushing into decisions, I seek out various solutions and analyze all angles.  As one of the top firms in M&A (mergers and acquisitions), underwriting equity and related issues, and corporate debt and high-yield debt financing, Morgan Stanley was the perfect place to start my career.

As an Investment Banking Analyst…
you need attention to detail, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, mental stamina and a strong work ethic.  I enjoy exercising judgment and discretion on important work for the firm.  I’ve developed an expertise in corporate finance modeling and gained exposure to a variety of product areas and industry sectors.

The best part of my job is…
having an active role on the team with real responsibility and getting to learn from the industry’s best. I’m expected to walk senior team members through my modeling and valuation assumptions and to actively participate in discussions about marketplace-shaping deals.

Many former Analysts have gone on to…
become Investment Banking Associates after three years, if successful as Analysts.
