Case Studies
Name: Toks Afolabi-Ajayi
Degree: Physics
Role: Investment Banking Analyst
“Despite my physics background, I was always more interested in business than science. I picked investment banking, and Morgan Stanley in particular, because the people I met at careers events were interesting and very, very sharp. I was also attracted by the strength of the brand and the company’s reputation in the marketplace.
My relationship with Morgan Stanley started with a summer internship in my penultimate year at university. It was a great introduction to the organisation and the world of investment banking as a whole. And on the strength of it, I then applied for the main graduate programme.
I now work with the team in mergers and acquisitions - an incredibly talented bunch of people. As an analyst, I support the senior people in my team who are dealing directly with the clients. It’s my job to go through financial statements with a fine-toothed comb and work out what the financial impact of the transaction – whether it’s an acquisition, restructuring, or divestiture – will be.
The thing I love most about my job is the variety. You come into the office in the morning and think you know what the day will bring. But all it takes is one phone call to throw your plans completely. It’s not right for everyone, but that unpredictability gives me a real buzz. And it means that I learn something new every day.
The most challenging part of my job is definitely the long hours. On occasions, we have to work 16 hours a day for two or three weeks straight. So I don’t get quite as much sleep as I did when I was student. And sometimes my social plans have to change at short notice.
The best advice I can give anyone who’s thinking of a career in investment banking is to do your homework first. Go to all the careers fairs, and as many presentations as you can. Also, spend time talking to the people at each event because it really helps you to get under the skin of each organisation.”
