  • Over 4 days I attended firmwide talks on Morgan Stanley's culture and overview of the firm's operations. On day 1 there was a trading simulation. From days 2-4 I engaged in presentations from employees of Morgan Stanley's Investment Management division. There were also both firmwide and divsional networking events. On day 4 there was a charity activity.
