I have recently joined Microsoft. I plan to opt for Microsoft provided ESPP which will allow me to convert a portion of my salary to stocks. The only broker you can choose for this is Fidelity.

I have also received an email to opt for the broker for my RSU - between Fidelity and Morgan Stanley.

Should I go with Fidelity for both or is it better to choose Morgan Stanley for RSU?

Fidelity is a good option if you are considering espp in the future. Try to keep all the stocks under one broker

Is it worth opting for ESPP? Considering the USD to INR conversation rate differences and the fact that foreign securities are taxed at slab rate so around 34% in most cases.
