So I went through all the around of the interview for an analyst position at Morgan Stanley and found out they’re on a hiring freeze. The person who would be my boss and who is very high up called me themselves to tell me that the job is mine, and that we should remain in touch until it’s lifted. Does anyone know how long the hiring freeze in finance will last? They said January most likely.

Don’t wait for any company, do you always. If the boss doesn’t have that promise in writing I would keep interviewing as if I’m still looking for my first offer.

Oh my gosh, how frustrating is that going through the whole interview process and then being told they're in a hiring freeze?!? I'm so sorry. I do know that just a few weeks ago they announced that they were going to slow down their payroll because of the huge dip in the stock market and so maybe January is when they predict things will stabilize. To protect your own interests, I would keep your options open (and maybe interview with other companies on the sly) until they tell you when you can start work. Good luck :)

Yes, most likely. But it may extend if things won't go as planned. You should keep applying just to be sure. Best of luck!

Definitely keep interviewing and take another job in the meantime. A senior person on my team took an internal transfer, but resigned from his new role to take a tech offer after less than a month. Sometimes you get an offer you can't refuse but until then, you still need to oay the bills.

That sucks. We're in a hiring freeze firmwide until Oct 1. Was announced yesterday.

Seriously say the firms name

Even with a company wide hiring freeze there will still be exceptions by department and for individual roles when the hiring manager can make a case for it.
It’s in your interest to know if your role is going through the exception approval path or the “wait and let’s see” path so you have more information to take your next step.

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!!

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k. I was previously offered a job at another company where the 75k salary was guaranteed for the first year. Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later. Would I be crazy if I asked for 100k guaranteed salary?
