If you wanna be successful, expect to work at least 12 hours a day. If you survive 5 years than you could be raking in $400k+ annually. You will succeed as long as you are not a slacker.

Morgan Stanley is clearly a world-class financial services firm. There is a great deal of diversity and dress code is very professional. There is definitely opportunity working within the firm.

The objective of the firm is to extract as much money from its clients as possible and is continually developing new methods for extracting money from new places! But they're really in trouble once the clients catch on and go somewhere else.

Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management is good if you are the right person for it. Most hires are young mba's but it's difficult to fit in when most clients trust their money to the 40-50yr old white male who enjoys playing golf at the country club. It is what it is.
