groups at Morgan Stanley IB

<p>Can anyone give me some insight into the group dynamics (socially and so) among:
Energy, Retail, Sponsors and Industrials at MS?</p>

<p>Additionally, does MS have a separate M&A group? I know some banks have had it and then taken it away and left each group to do their own m&a, and then set it back up and so. So I'm not really sure what the deal at MS is, if anyone knows that would be great. </p>

<p>I'm looking for a group with a lot of cool, social people that are fun to hang out with. Social dynamics are a huge factor for me , when I pick the group preferences for next summer, so any info would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>You already have an offer for next summer? That’s strange - in my day, summer analyst recruiting didn’t begin until January/February.</p>

<p>MS M&A has historically been one of the top groups on the street.</p>

<p>i interviewed for their diversity program, you interview as a sophomore and you get an offer for summer after junior year. kind weird, agreed</p>

<p>That’s great - congrats. M&A, media/communications, and FIG have generally been very strong.</p>
