Hey everyone, graduating next year and starting to look at full-time roles. I know there have been some rumors circulating about hiring freezes and potential layoffs at Morgan Stanley, even though nothing concrete has been announced. I've seen some posts referencing dealmaking slowing down, which makes sense. Has anyone in the industry, especially those at MS or familiar with their hiring practices, heard anything more solid? Trying to gauge the actual landscape versus just general market jitters. Any insights on whether to still prioritize MS for applications would be super helpful. Feels like a lot of uncertainty out there right now. Trying to plan my job search strategically.

From what I'm hearing through some connections, it's not a blanket freeze but more of a strategic pause in certain divisions. They're definitely being more selective and focusing on roles that directly support revenue generation or critical infrastructure. It's less about panic and more about recalibrating in a tougher economic climate. Keep an eye on their careers page for specific team openings rather than broad statements; that's usually the best indicator.
