          Pros

          During my time at Morgan Stanley, I observed some challenges in terms of leadership and the overall strategic direction of the organization I was part of. There seemed to be a lack of clear guidance and a coherent vision, which affected the efficiency and effectiveness of teams. Additionally, While HR plays a crucial role in any organization, I felt that there were issues related to transparency and fairness at Morgan Stanley. In some instances, it appeared that HR was more inclined to protect management rather than addressing employee concerns impartially. I resigned due to the chaos - Unfortunately, although I asked HR and my manager to approve my move to another group due to my role not being a good fit, I had to resign for my own mental health. That is so ashamed a company like Morgan Stanley promoting people that lack good leadership just for the sake of D&I.

          Cons

          I had the opportunity to build valuable friendships and relationships with some truly exceptional individuals across the company.

        For those who are/were in management- At how many years of experience did you get your first job as a manager? How did you make the jump into leadership? For people whose first management role started at a new company, how did you convince them since you had no prior experience in management??

        I just had a great interview with a tech company and was turned down because I am over qualified. Are there any tips or suggestions on getting better feed back after interviewing?

        Are case studies/presentations a normal part of interview processes? This is in addition to several interview rounds. These typically take 2 days to do, and require of anywhere from 6-15 slides worth of information, and require deep dives into company product portfolios, use cases, competitive advantages, application to fictitious customer scenario JUST to present. It's exhausting to have to do multiples of these and feels like free labor.
