Asked for HireVue immediately after submitting application. Given 48 hours to do it. 2 questions, each with 1 retry attempt. Each question gave 30 second prep time, then 90 seconds to answer the question. Same questions as last year.
What's a recent transaction that you're interested in?
What's a time you saw something wrong in a team/project/activity you were doing? How did you react? What did you do?

Hey beans235, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot...do any of these help:
You're welcome.
You're the man.
Does anyone know the questions for IM Hirevue? Would Really appreciate it
Does anyone know the questions for MS Equity Research and Fixed Income Research? Thx!
_
Were the HireVues automatic? I did not got a HireVue and I applied yesterday
Think so, I got the Hirevue seconds after I submitted my app
I got the hirevue after 2 days
>What's a recent transaction that you're interested in?
Any suggested resources to cultivate a response to this?
Read the WSJ, keep up to date with business news. Find a deal that not everyone knows about. Know the price, how the transaction is being financed, why the company decided to buy the other, expected synergies, etc.
Does anyone know if the hirevue questions are the same across locations? For example, is the NYC hirevue the same was the LA hirevue?
Any word on this?
Did we have an update on this?
I am wondering the same
Does anyone know the questions for Wealth? Will appreciate it posted or DMed!
Hey did you ever figure out these questions?
Does anyone have the questions for GCM?
Were they the same as IBD?
I did the Hirevue last Friday for IB and got an e-mail today to do an assessment online, which includes; situation judgement question, numerical questions , and logical reasoning. Anyone else get this? Have not heard of anyone receiving this.
I also got this today. Haven't done it yet though.
Have you been able to open it? I have been having problems with macOS on Chrome, Safari, and FF. I tried on Windows and that didn't seem to help.
I didn’t see anyone get this assessment test in last years post. It was hirevue->phone interview->super day.
I got a similar test from Credit Suisse a few days ago. It's essentially a tightly time limited logic and reasoning test. The numerical is a bunch of charts and graphs and they ask you questions about the data on them, you have to say, true, false, or cannot tell. The logical reasoning is similar but with passages instead of numbers.
Just got MS HireVue today as well.
I checked the application center today, and found it said thank you for submitting the online assessment. It made me so confused because I never did an online assessment. Anyone knows what's going on??? I guess there is a problem in the system side that we have received the online assessments sent to the European peers?
same, no idea
then it's a system error I believe
I thought the assessment were for only UK students?
yeah I think so, and none of us could do it as it said online assessments were already completed
I completed mine on Saturday afternoon and submitted. I’ll see what happens.
I'm a US student, took the online assessment within ~48 hours; you only had two days to do the assessments, so if you waited that might be why you're not able to anymore.
I got to round 27 on the switchChallenge and don't think of myself as strong in quant at all. I have friends that could probably score 40+ with ease.
Why would you even take the test? You said you already signed with a BB. If you were to receive a superday interview, that would effectively be one less interview for someone else - most likely someone without an offer.
Relax man, I take the assessments and stuff so I can let my boys know what to expect. They need to secure the bag as well
wtf? Mine stopped at round 3 for all the tasks and I am pretty sure I got most of the round 3s for each task correct.
nvm, I was thinking of CS.
is it the same for the 2020 hedge fund. It just seems that 2 questions for 10 mins is a long time.
Anyone know the S&T questions? Specifically for FI?
^^ any word on this??
do we really have to do a separate hirevue for each location we apply to?
Yep but its the same questions so just polish up whatever you said for the last one
Anyone could share SA IB hirevue questions?
it's the questions that OP posted. For all locations
Is there an assessment for SA 2020 positions? Has anyone heard back after the hirevues?
For their Equity Research positions, the questions were "why are you interested in Equity Research" "what is a company that you really admire? Why"
Prime brokerage is quite similar - 1) Why are you interested in prime brokerage 2) Describe which skills you have developed through your professional, educational, or personal experiences that will make you successful in a client service role
Anyone have questions for GCM?
Just to make sure all of these 2020 threads are for diversity programs right?
no, non-diversity 2020 is very much underway now
Does anyone have the questions for wealth management or FSE?
Anyone know the questions for FSE
do you mind sharing the fse questions?
Does anyone have FSE questions?
can you pm the fse questions you had
would anyone know the ms gcm hireview questions from july 1st application opening??
Do you know the deadline for GCM?
7th
question was why gcm
What other questions did you get for GCM during the phone interview?
Anyone have any insight into when the application closes?
The 7th
Does anyone know if you're allowed to apply to more than one position?
I think you are allowed to submit 3 applications across divisions/ regions.
anyone know when the first set of superdays will take place?
I think we got 2 attempts for IBD
did u apply for any other divisions?
yes also applied to GCM and FSE! You?
anyone have equity research questions or public finance? would really appreciate it !
have first round GCM happened already?
Does anyone have Morgan Stanley Asia Hirevue questions? (specifically HK office) Just got a 20-min HireVue yesterday. Hope someone can give advice on this.
Hi Have you finished the question? Could you share the questions? Investment banking... thx
Hi Have you finished the question? I also got the email for a 20-min HireVue.
Hey do you mind sharing the MS HK Qs? I received an invite for MS singapore, so its non competitive, if you dont mind. I could give you my CS hirevue Qs, might be similar?
It's your second HireVue invitation right? How did it go? I just received my 20-min HireVue for Seoul today.
Anyone else receive a strange looking application update email?
Anyone know if things have kicked off? Finished the hirevue and assessments for ibd a while back and was wondering if they haven't started the process or if I just got dinged
^
I received an email from MS on Friday that the deadline has passed and that they are going to start reviewing the Hirevue and the application on a rolling basis. Also, the majority of the interviews will take place from August - October. I applied to WM NY.
Thanks for the update. Hadn't heard anything for months so was getting concerned
Hi, would anybody mind explaining the switch challenge that is after the hirevue to me? I am really confused about how it works
=
Could anyone please elaborate what questions are asked in Morgan Stanley IBD (Houston) hirevue interview?
for Sales and Trading I've got the following (not exact but you get it):
After the question is revealed to you, you have 30s to prep and 90s to record. After that you get to review your video and it will pause and you decide whether you want to re-record. That's a good time to find out some stuff if you have no clue what the question is about.
hope that helps.
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing
exactly the same ones
Hi! Anyone can advice on how long it took for them to get back after the hirevue? I applied to Singapore ibd. Received online assessment 3 days after submitting application. And after submitting my online assessment, received ibd hirevue few hours later
