    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed meeting new people on the insight. But it was also quite intense, especially on the final two days. We were assigned a project and only given one night to prepare, which meant that everyone pulled all-nighters to finish the assignment. So it was intense and somewhat stressful, but that is expected from a high-performing company like Morgan Stanley. So, all in all, I am grateful for the insight because it did truly give an insight into banking and Morgan Stanley.
