Your Opportunity as a Summer Analyst in Investment Banking

An overview of this program's objectives and how you can benefit

The ten-week Summer Analyst Program provides an opportunity to experience the culture and atmosphere of Morgan Stanley by taking on the responsibilities and functions of full-time Analysts.

After a five-day extensive training program, you will spend the summer within a specific group, building a strong foundation in the basic skills of financial analysis, accounting and valuation, and working on a wide range of transactions. You would receive continuing on-the-job training throughout the summer and benefit from working alongside experienced professionals on meaningful projects. As a Summer Analyst, you might accompany clients on a road show for a headline-making transaction, participate in the execution of an M&A transaction or analyze financial information.

The majority of Summer Analysts are hired into our New York office although each of our North American offices also hires Summer Analysts into their group.
