Hi Prospect in IB-M&A, the silence is deafening, sorry about that.... Any of the threads below helpful?
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Applied and did situational judgement test last week. Haven't heard anything either. Anyone know when they start interviewing?
i did the sjt and just got a hear from us shortly message after i finished it. you get the same thing?
I applied in early Nov and got an email a few days ago about "hearing from them in a couple weeks". Seems a bit later than other years
Yes same, got the exact one. Very late
They will be doing first and second interviews in the first 2 weeks of Jan.
How you know?
Talked with a few people that run the program.
Do you know if they are technical or behavioral??
I was told that they do not assume that you will know much of anything technical. Definitely show an interest in banking and what ever program that you are applying too.
Does participating in the virtual event or an employee referral help?
I received an email that I successfully completed the SJT test and that's it.
I have referral too, let’s pray. Are you diverse?
Yeah, I am diverse but might not be one of the diverse candidates that banks seek for. Were you in the virtual event?
any updates? i did the sjt and haven't heard back since.
Nothing for me.
Emails should have gone out Mon. 12/20 to about 50 people for first round invites happening Jan 11th & 12th. They look to move on about 20 people to the next week. Also noted that the have a secondary list for first rounds as they know they are recruiting late and some people will have accepted elsewhere.
Thank you! 50 for both sts and ibd or just ibd?
I believe they should have about the same, but I spoke to someone in s&t.
damn, I didn't get a first-round for corp fin with a 3.7 at an ivy. can anyone who got an interview drop their info?
Ivy. 3.5+. What else are you curious about?
is that for Chicago or NY? or both?
Not hundred percent sure. Im going for NY, which is where all the people I have spoke to are.
Is this diversity only?
Yes, Sophomore program for "dbAchieve is an eight-week introduction to a career at Deutsche Bank designed for students who are diverse (for example, students who identify as women, Black, Latinx/Hispanic, LGBTQI, veterans, people with disabilities, or diverse in other ways) and/or students who can show a commitment to diversity".
Have they sent anything out for investment banking in Chicago? I have a 4.0 at a target majoring in Finance, and I am from Chicago. Guessing I didn't get a first round since I haven't heard anything. But, I am really interested in this program, so I am curious if anyone could provide me with any insight.
Damn, haven’t heard anything either. Applied back in October with a referral.
Same here. And, I got an email saying I would hear in the coming weeks at the end of November
I got my first round this upcoming Thursday
Backround and target?

How did everyone’s first round interview go?

what division? when was your first round?

When did you do your first interview? I did mine in mid-December and haven't heard back since then.
I had my first interview on 1/11
How long did you got the invitation after your first round？
Did anyone get an offer?
Got an offer for corp fin/IB in NYC!
When was your final round?

The HR said we will hear back next week when I joined the zoom room.
If you are interviewing for NY office.

Fr I'm losing my mind here
got a call for s&t this morning
Is it NY office?
yea
I applied for International Private Bank - Wealth Management. They sent me an email saying that I would hear back in the coming weeks. But I didn't receive any updates. Should I keep my hope or just move on?
Head up homie - I just received an email last night for corporate bank for a 1st round
Thanks. Good luck with your interviews!
I had a call with an analyst who reached out last week as coffee chat for resume review. Anyone else? Anyone know the progress after this step?
I received a rejection email a couple of days ago. Referred and didn't even get a first-round :(
Did anyone apply for International Private Bank - Wealth Management and get an offer?
