Second interview (HR+HM round) of about 30 minutes
Subsequently, I received an email eight days later, confirming my second interview with an ED at Morgan Stanley. This round encompassed HR and HM elements, and the interviewer’s amiable demeanour put me at ease. I provided my introduction and elaborated on one of the group projects I had undertaken, highlighting the obstacles I overcame during the process. Questions regarding Morgan Stanley’s core values and my interpretation of their relevance followed. I also had the opportunity to ask questions, and the interviewer kindly provided detailed explanations, including insights into the company’s work culture.
After seven days, coinciding with the end of my mid-semester college exams, I received the happy news that my interview result was positive, and I had secured the Technology Summer Analyst role. Seeing this email filled me with joy, as it seemed that all my efforts had culminated in a fruitful outcome.

Morgan Stanley Interview Experience For Summer Internship (Off-Campus) 2024
My journey towards securing the Technology Summer Analyst role with Morgan Stanley began on October 16, 2023, when I applied for their off-campus internship opportunity for the Summer of 2024.
Four months later, in February 2024, I received an email notifying me that I had been selected for the AMCAT (computer-based online recruitment test), which was scheduled in three days.
During the AMCAT test, which lasted 100 minutes, I encountered three timed sections: debugging, aptitude, and programming. I successfully tackled a significant number of the total 7 debugging questions, performed well in the aptitude section, and completed 2 out of 3 medium-difficulty level programming questions.
Following the online assessment, I received a call confirming my eligibility for virtual interviews on the Zoom platform. My first interview was scheduled for February 28th, 2024 in the afternoon, and it focused on technical aspects.
