J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Morgan Stanley (San Francisco, CA) en oct. 2014
Entretien
Written exam was offered on campus in late September 2014, and consists of four parts: math(calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability), finance(derivative pricing: bond,option,future,Black-Scholes formula), math finance(Ito's calculus) and programming(C++ or Java). You just need to complete three areas of your choice, basically 1 minute per question according to the time budget. Problems are not hard if more time would be given. The result of this entry-level test will be out in two weeks, and followed by phone interview with a quant at Morgan Stanley.

First round was phone interview of about 40min, with resume screening and tech questions distributed evenly. The tech part includes basic understanding for Greeks and exotic options. Overall it was not quite different but needs solid foundation for quant finance.

A lot of challenging math based questions and brain teasers. These were significantly harder than intro level questions for other firms. Definitely not for every one. Definitely apply if interested
