I had it this week too, no updates as of yet.
is this for their O&A grad programme london office?
yes
Does anyone know what stage the FIC grad programme is at?
I just did the First round as well and the assessment center is next week. Does anyone have updates?
Did you all apply first week? I applied later but was advised they do batches, wondering if I got dinged or to still hope
Ever find out about the batches thing? Still holding on to hope haha
In the email for the video interview they said that the AC is on the 9th (basically next week) and I did not hear feedback and I was wondering if there is stil hope or not ahah
I applied for Capital Markets, did assessment still no shout on anything. Applied within 1st week. Safe to say I’m cooked?
anyone heard anything for AC yet?
Not yet, you?
no.. thought they should at least let us know a few days before the AC?
till no on my end, would assume i got dinged
Was this timeline for IB or other roles as well?
Bumping - can anyone confirm whether or not they heard back after round 1?
Bump
Do DB send out interviews in batches or they are pretty much done in the first batch?
Same question - bump
Received an invite for the same programme; can i ask if the previous interview invite has capital markets ?
Anybody hear back from yday superday?
Was there an AC yesterday?! Are you UK?
has anyone from any of the 2 ACs heard back
Offers for first AC are out, very low offer rate
oh man, what’s the rate looking like if i may ask?
Does anyone know the rough headcount that DB has for its IB grads? Besides, did the AC1 peeps only get the offers after 2 weeks? (Am from the first AC but have yet to hear back, would assume that I got dinged/ put on the waitlist)
Not sure about headcount but my friend got the offer roughly after two weeks. like stated above it is very low offer rate as they are planning to run AC's to find the right candidates until december
I see , can i ask if your friend did the AC or IB ( Advisory / coverage) or capital markets ?
It was for IB
Thank you for replying :) , did your friend mention how diffcult his particupar AC was ?
Anyone got the first rounds for ac3?
Nope, have they come out already?
Did you appy for advisory ( coverage) or capital markets ?
think it should have came out if they were planning another ac, it seems like the acs are hosted bi-weekly…
Anyone heard back after AC for batch 2？
heard from a friend that offers are out earlier this week
oh so guess will be rejected for who haven’t received the call yet? Do you know anything about offer rate?
How soon after OA did you get your VI?
around 2 weeks for me
anyone else heard back yet?
bump
Just wondering - so you haven’t heard back after 2 weeks?
