[@judyl.7811]

Thank you for this story! This is not anyway easy to open up like this. I really appreciate what you did!

[@ajisekolaomotayo1407]

Thank you so much for this. I needed this so badly and timely too.

Thanks for putting yourself out there Mark. I’m about to start university and I came across your channel through LinkedIn. It must’ve been a really stressful time for you, but I’m glad you overcame it. I hope this channel gets more subscribers, you have a great way of telling a story!

Thanks for sharing your story Mark! This really hit home and couldnt have come at a better time. Im in the middle of my exams and have an extension out for every single one. Unlike you, I am good at finishing work but im terrible at starting it. Ive come to the point where its holding me back but i dont want it to anymore. Im going to take on your improvements and i know i can get better!

[@MarkRoss]

That's very kind. Really 75% of the battle is knowing what your weakness is and what triggers it. Then you need plan around your triggers.

Great video Mark - my favourite one yet! Your attitude is a perfect example of when someone adopts a growth mindset.

[@MarkRoss]

Thanks Ubaid, really appreciate it.

Really interesting Mark. I’m starting a role in risk in the summer, all being well, so it’s motivating to hear your experience.

[@MarkRoss]

Good luck!

[@SamJones-jg4lf]

Your experience from nearly getting fired to getting a happy pat on the back, is a classic example of how a positive change can bring wonders in one's life, be it personal or professional life... Thanks for sharing this🤗

Somehow my Dad always knows what to do...he is amazing.

Great story Mark. I recently was fired from MS and actually did not get a 30 day notice. It was the first time that I have ever been let go of a job - terrible experience to go through.

[@MarkRoss]

Yeah, Once my manager got a phone call. Stood up and said "well, that's that". And left. Sometimes it's just brutal.

[@jaym9846]

Morgan Stanley, please get your act together. After acquiring ETrade, it now takes 1 or 2 hours on hold before speaking with a customer service representative and this has been going on for the past 6 months. Today, after talking to robots, 46 minutes on hold, a rep finally came on only to say he couldn't hear me and hung up! (longest hold time thus far: +2 hrs)

Thanks Mark

[@MarkRoss]

Thank you Jake!

Thank you for putting out this video, this is very helpful for young professionals, especially on task management. I hope this gets more views

[@MarkRoss]

Hey mark, love your channel. Im planning to do a masters in finance either next year January or October, is it possible for me to land an internship while doing my masters? I have a BS in biology but lost interest in it and found investment banking/portfolio management interesting.

[@MarkRoss]

Thanks for stopping by :). A word of caution. Going from biology into an MS you'll find that it's extremely difficult to land an IB or PM role. Typically you need a few years experience. I would suggest working a few years in finance and then doing your masters if your ultimate goal is IB. But in answer to your question, sure people do internships during masters all the time. I did.

[@ballievlogs5515]

if you did this in trading you'd be out before you even could grab your coffee - and no 2nd chances

[@MrKalrich]

Your title should Be "Morgan Stanley Saved My Career"! Your click-bait title causes the reader to believe that Morgan Stanley fired you after only 30 days of employment. You should clean that up for their sake. Many companies would not have given you a chance to improve. You should give as much credit to your Direct Manager for their feedback and guidance after the 30 day notice as you do for your own efforts afterwards to improve.

[@MarkRoss]

Good point. Let me change it. I love MS and I love those managers.

[@douglasforeman8627]

Self explanatory. Gave 30 days Fletch on out here.
