What is advancement like at Morgan Stanley?

Bit of a background, I am moving into a business analyst associate role in Ops. Wanted to know if MS has specific requirements around time in position and what can be seen as valuable for promotion. Goal is to get to VP in 2y. Thoughts?

You have to stay in current position for 18 months before any transfers. Normally officer titles are given out after a full calendar year in a row ( if you qualify) but they are not automatic.

I’m my exempt role, I qualify for officer title and it’s a nomination from my manager for teamwork, skills etc but those get approved from their higher ups so even if nominated it’s a process

like

Most appreciated and this is welcomed news.

And it’s not an easy process. HR told me some people even leave to get the title and then come back as a VP. Hearing that from HR was crazy.

Unfortunately, this move is common advice at my company too.

I think you can apply for other jobs after a year and a half there. They have good upward trajectory from what i hear though.
