Lindsey Coleman, head of fixed income client coverage for the Americas at Morgan Stanley, shared her approach to evaluating young people's interest in Wall Street careers.

She has spent over two decades at Morgan Stanley and was one of Business Insider's inaugural Rising Stars of Wall Street in 2017.
