    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The spring week this year took place online due to covid restrictions. Day to day we got the chance to virtually network with Morgan Stanley employees and find out what their role entails. We then spent 2 days in the division of our choice where we got a deeper insight into that role. In the sales and trading division, we played mock trading games which were extremely insightful to get a true feel for the role


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I believe I learnt many new skills, especially when it comes to the new virtual environment. The programme taught me to how to approach people and form bonds without being face to face. The insight week also developed my teamwork skills when we played team games based on sales and trading.
