What's up with the "18 months in a role" policy at Morgan Stanley? It's not effective. I believe that's why lots of people rather leave

Yes, if a team wants you badly enough, both teams can agree to waive the 18month rule.

Thank you guys so much. I was hard-sold a role less than a year ago and I want to get out. Another team is interested in me so meeting them to discuss. Thought I'd still have to wait 18months but hopefully it works out.

It's def possible. I made a move <18 months- all depends on how much your new team wants/pushes for you

@MS1 please tell me more. They can vouch for you to come to their team?

It's 2 years at Barclays, but in practice it can happen sooner if both teams agree the move is for the best

Can someone explain what "18 months in a role" policy is at Morgan?

It’s a policy for transitioning within the company, they don’t want you to transition until you’ve been in your current role for 18 months.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
