Outreach angles

How to make a Morgan Stanley coffee chat request feel specific.

A strong student note connects recipient relevance, firm context, and one credible background signal before making a small ask.

Personalization checks

Reference one specific Morgan Stanley team or role instead of only naming the firm.

Use your school, internship, project, or investing signal as the reason the conversation makes sense.

Ask for perspective on the role and preparation before asking for referrals or application help.

Coffee chat questions

What helped you understand the day-to-day work at Morgan Stanley?

Which early conversations were most useful before interviews?

What would you recommend a student prepare before reaching out to more people on the team?

Template structure

Start with a draft you would actually send.

The best templates are scaffolds. NextCoffee should adapt the final message to the student's actual resume and the recipient's context.

Hi [Name], I am a [school/class year] student exploring Investment Banking and noticed your path at Morgan Stanley. I have been building my background through [specific experience] and would be grateful to hear how you approached the role and recruiting process.
