    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • Personally, I have learnt that I would like a more investment related role. However, I believe this is the most valuable thing about insight weeks - getting to know your preferences within finance. I met some lovely people there and the whole experience was great. There are many roles available at Morgan Stanley, and they also offer scholarships to minorities. I love the culture at Morgan Stanley and will be applying next year for the summer.

    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I most enjoyed the coding challenge which was a simulation based on trading historical data. It was really fun because you had to make bets on currency pairs, but to execute these trades, you have to code it through, so it was a lovely mix of trading and coding
