The Summer Analyst Program in Sales & Trading
How the program works and the day-to-day experience you can expect

Morgan Stanley's ten-week Sales & Trading Summer Analyst classes are treated as a top priority because we know they will produce the future Full-Time Analyst classes. Summer Analysts have the opportunity to develop and master the analytical, quantitative, and interpersonal skills they will need for consideration for our full-time opportunities. The division's flat organizational structure and open trading floor allow Summer Analysts to collaborate with successful industry professionals in a fast paced and intense environment, requiring an aptitude for analyzing and interpreting often complex information in a timely manner.

Sales & Trading Summer Analyst Program Details:

The Summer Analyst Program is an intensive ten-week program designed to provide a realistic view of our businesses by having Summer Analysts assume the functions of full-time Analysts.  You will contribute to the coverage process as salespersons, sales traders, traders or product innovation specialists. You will receive continuing on-the-job training throughout the summer and benefit from working alongside experienced professionals on meaningful projects. Fixed Income Summer Analysts will spend their entire internship placed on one desk, and Institutional Equity Summer Interns will have a rotation program where they rotate to a new functional area every two weeks.
