Looks like I was posting while icecold was posting, so some redundancy. I stand behind the 20 years comment. I've been around a while. Of course that is an exaggeration!

True, you have to work smart, hard, and be dedicated. However, you have to be able to sell.
I worked with a guy that worked harder, smarter, and had more designations than me, but ccouldn't make it. The sole reason was because he couldn't sell a freaking life jacket to someone on the titanic. Most of the ones that make it are like a perfect storm.

Hey guys. I have an offer on the table with EJ and WFA! Super pumped! Morgan Stanley just contacted me(pretty much out of the blue - kinda weird, but nice. they must have heard about the guy that is crushing all the interviews
 ) and invited me in. I'm assuming MS is probably the hardest place to "make it" at out of those three in regards to the hurdles they set?

KK you gotta decide what you want your practice to look like. You've got some great opportunities. Do the pros and cons list and make your decision. Let us know how it goes and GOOD LUCK

Congrats, those are all nice options. If it were me, I'd take icecold's advice...take the WF gig and if you dont make it, EJ will always take you. But not the other way around.

If you eat an entire cake without cutting it, then technically, you only had one piece

Stay away from Morgan. They are a disaster. Take the offer from WFA IMO as long as you think you can work with the manager there. If not take the EJ offer.

I started at MS a long time ago. Made all my numbers, but they took an institutional relationship away from me because I was retail. Left immediately. So did the client. Bad place. Run by New York lawyers
