Morgan Stanley is great because you can always try something new and there are a lot of opportunities. Even though we are thousands of people, I think everyone has a key role.
The Budapest office has been around for 17 years. We have ten different business units represented. Largest ones are technology, finance, and risk management.
I think one of the first things people notice when they come to Morgan Stanley is the spirit of collaboration and the continuous support you receive from the first day you enter that door throughout your journey.
I joined as an intern. And in fact, this was my first job ever. I really feel like that my ideas and all of my input is highly valued and appreciated.
When we hire somebody, we don't just hire them for a job. We want to hire them for an entire career.
Every day I have opportunities to be challenged and learn new things. The most rewarding thing for me is seeing my team grow. It brings me happiness that I can see others achieve their goals and succeed in their career as well.
When I come into the office, there are so many different people with different backgrounds, and I always meet new people from around the world.
Female colleagues are underrepresented in technology, and we have our own female mentoring circle. Women in technology wants to provide room for them to appear, to get visibility, and to connect within the whole technology network.
We have many social events as well, which gives perfect opportunities for networking and meeting new people.

I've joined the charity committee this year. What we do is really exciting and it also aligns with one of the core values of Morgan Stanley of just giving back.
We don't just come in to work, but we come in to build relationships as well.
We realize that people can only have a long and successful career professionally if they have a good balance between their personal lives as well as their professional lives.
Morgan Stanley provides flexibility, which enables working moms and working dads to align their days to the family needs.
I can definitely just think ahead in the future and imagine myself being here for many, many years.
It feels really energizing to be working in an environment such as this.
I think Morgan Stanley Budapest has a very bright future ahead of it.
