Former DB IND analyst here. Seconding the assessment on verticals. Worth noting that the old NRG team (now mostly Chemicals) was merged into IND in 2022. Business Services by far the strongest subvertical at DB. A&D and Paper and Packaging (formerly known as pain and punishment) also very strong in 2024. 
Though despite the grueling working hours as an analyst and better deal flow compared to some of the weaker teams (e.g. Consumer / Healthcare), no relative benefit on comp vs. other teams (incl. Capital Markets teams like ECM / DCM). Culture largely positive but unable to retain talent with ~25% of the team - 9 juniors (3An / 6 As /1 VP) leaving laterally (Top-3 BB) or to PE (mid/large cap) in the YTD.
