Application processes may vary by division, but all will start with submitting your CV and cover letter as early as you can when applications open. We review applications as they are received, and you don’t want to miss out on our application deadlines.

In your cover letter, tell us why you are interested in joining Morgan Stanley and your chosen business area. Depending on which division you're applying, your application can also include several open-ended questions. You may need to take a combination of numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning tests, and accuracy. We recommend you take some practise tests to familiarise yourself with the format and content of these before you start the real ones. Practice makes perfect!

If successful, you will be asked to take an initial interview. This first-round interview may be on the telephone, via video conferencing or in person, depending on the division and your location. The last stage of our selection process usually consists of one-on-one interviews, written tests, an individual presentation and a group exercise. At Morgan Stanley, it’s our goal to match the right person with the right job. After all, people are our most valuable asset.
