Who to write to

Named people at Morgan Stanley, each read from the firm's own page. Here is one of them in full, which is what every one of them looks like.

3 people. Their role, the page the firm names them on, and how to reach them

Adam Jonas
Head of Global Autos and Shared Mobility Research

Search their name and the firm on LinkedIn.

The route that always works, and the one they are most likely to read.

The firm publishes this person, and publishes no address we could read for anyone here, so there is no pattern to show you either. Search their name and firm on LinkedIn and write from your own account.

2 more people, in the same shape as the one above.

What membership includes

Most junior seats are filled by someone writing to the right person before a portal opens. The rest of this list is part of membership: £12 a month or £30 a term, refunded without argument. Or read what the words mean, which is free and always will be.

How to approach each desk

One plan per desk: who to write to on it, in which month, through which route, and how to open it. Here is one of them whole.

  2. WhenWe have not observed enough adverts here to say anything honest about this firm's months. The cycle-wide pattern is on the firm page above.
  3. RouteNo address is published for this desk, so the route is their name and their firm on LinkedIn, written from your own account.
  4. What to say
    One clause on what you actually do, then one sentence on why Morgan Stanley in particular, using something they have published or advertised. Then one question they can answer in two lines.
