Crack the Code to Investment Banking from Morgan Stanley interviewer

I have navigated the investment banking recruitment process successfully from multiple vantage points — as a candidate, an insider, and a coach. I previously worked as an Associate at Morgan Stanley and was the first-ever Graduate Analyst in Asia Pacific selected for the firm’s prestigious three-year rotational program, which had an offer rate of less than 0.1%. During this time, I gained hands-on experience across Investment Banking Advisory, Equities Sales & Trading, Global Financial Crimes Prevention, Operational Risk, and Compliance, giving me a holistic understanding of how top banks evaluate talent. In parallel, I was admitted to multiple M7 and T15 MBA programs — including Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School, and Cornell Johnson — with over USD 200K in merit-based scholarships, and was selected as a Schwarzman Scholar from a global applicant pool of 5,000+ (~3% acceptance rate). This allows me to advise candidates who are pursuing both direct analyst/associate recruiting and MBA-to-banking pathways. I have since reviewed hundreds of investment banking resumes and coached dozens of traditional and non-traditional candidates to secure roles at top global banks. My coaching is grounded in first-hand industry experience, a clear understanding of hiring signals, and a structured framework that helps candidates position themselves competitively. I work with clients to develop a targeted recruitment strategy — from resume and technical preparation to networking and interview execution — to maximize their chances of breaking into top investment banking roles.
