Hey!! Is it normal practice with Morgan Stanley to reach out to a candidate and schedule the interviews and then cancel because they filled the role? They are probably doing me a favor!!!

They may have pulled the requisition tbh. It’s been happening quite frequently.

Good point!

Not necessarily normal but certainly not unheard of especially now. I would take it as at least they called you to let you know, rather than just ghosting you all together. Bummer though, you'll find something.

Thank you! Appreciate it!!

Happened to me with MS. I'd say how companies treat you during the process is indicative of the culture

I think any big name bank would do this kind of thing. Banks are not the places you run to for good culture. Unfortunately, being somewhere where you don't hate waking up in the morning is considered a big deal.

I experienced this maybe last year. That was my second application. Actually, that's much better than requiring you to finish all the interviews and then suddenly drop you.

It's a frequent thing with MS. Looking at the bright side, at least they have the conscience to tell you to stop hoping for something that's not happening. Lol.

This happened to a really good friend of mine recently. I understand the frustration but also good on them for not wasting your time. I've gone to interviews before where they already had the candidate chosen and just wanted to waste my time.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
