Morgan Stanley provides multiple ways in for students and new graduates, including large seasonal internship funnels plus structured development programmes in wealth management and branch operations. Morgan Stanley also publishes clearer hiring stages for some early-career tracks than most large banks, and backs early careers with training and benefits. Outcomes are mixed in public signals: there are credible stories of intern-to-full-time conversion and progression, alongside widely reported firmwide layoffs and limited published data on early-career retention or conversion rates.
