As a preface, please do not mock DB. I'm sure they are still a better bank than what most of your prospects and interns are going to.
Thank you
lmao not mocking db whatsoever just asking about their summer plans wannabe banker
Dude, you are nervous about an internship from DB. I've actually worked in IB for a while...
This guy is a troll.
.
I don't comment on every single thread. I can name several thousand threads on which I have not commented. Please do your reseach before posting ionline.
As an ex-DB SA, so glad I didn't have to due my internship during a pandemic. Goodluck to everyone.
theres 2 other threads on this...
Check the DB app. Global virtual start date is July 6, gonna be for 4wks. That’s literally all anyone knows. We know just as much as the next intern. Not even the analysts I’ve talked to know what the structure’s gonna be like
i dont understand why u got MS on this lol...the info is correct
sucks they didnt change anything regarding pay - but fuck it at this stage idc anymore
Yeah idk why either lmao. Literally not a single intern knows, like I’ve spoken to ~35 employees internally within DB since beginning of April and not a single person even knew when the fuckin start date was until yesterday.
The most HR could provide the interns was that there could potentially be an online case study but even that’s not confirmed.
Did everyone else just get the notification to upload an updated CV? Kinda dumb we have to follow their template.
yup i got the message. i wonder what it's for?
Are you actually gonna follow their format exactly? I was just gonna take my personal info off my resume and put in the division I’m working at within the bank.
I think it’s safer to just follow the template, even if it doesn’t look as good. What do others think?
Yeah. The way they phrased it seems weird given that there aren't even going to be rotations/desks but they want to use this as a way to evaluate interns and show our accomplishments. Sounds dumb but are they going to use this as a way to figure out how to differentiate people? Also didn't we already submit our CV two months ago during onboarding? Whats the point of submitting this again
No official announcement on not having a desk placement - it looks to me as if they will assign a desk based on this CV.
did you also get the recall message?
Wait yeah, they said please ignore the previous message LOL.
Haven't received anything. Is this IB only?
Check your email and app.
Which region are you in ?
Wait are people still going to upload updated CVs despite them taking back that email?
Might as well just be proactive and spend 30 minutes doinh it instead of not do it and then have HR have to contact you and ask why you didn't
did they take back the email? im in apac and (finally) received the msg yesterday, but no callback
Did anyone get the addendum from DocuSign yet?
Possibility of auto ft or increase in pay?
slim to none
I haven’t gotten it yet so I’m not sure. It’s due on Friday tho
Anyone get it yet
Lmao what is taking them so long to send the offer letter if it's just to extend the dates. Are people that need to figure out work authorization gonna have enough time with just a couple of days? Could they be adding more pay or guaranyeed FT?
If they change to full pay, I’ll record myself drinking my own pee and link it here. Pinky swear.
auto ft: basically zero chance since there's no way they wont first make a huge PR show out of this like what Citi did before amending contracts
full pay: same logic but slightly higher chance i guess? No reason they won't announce it first, also doesn't make sense for them to backtrack, looks bad on HR
its probably just gonna be a couple paragraphs about how due to circumstances the program has now been reduced to 4wks w/ 4wks pay
so we no longer have to do fingerprint, drug test, and compliance and conflict screening unless I’m reading that wrong
Probably still gonna be compliance and conflict screening
but not the other two?
No pee video, sorry
Anyone on the Speaker Series this morning? Was it helpful?
it was interesting but I wouldn’t call it helpful
Did you take notes by any chance or what was interesting about it? Just trying to get an idea of what i missed
How's everybody getting along with their "Buddy"?
Why do you ask
Did everyone else just get a bunch of Workday notifications from DB? I tried clicking the link but the website doesn’t load. Same problem for everyone else?
yup, I sent a query to HR and they said that we can ignore those links as they'll be filled after we officially join DB
Awesome, thanks for checking
for what?
dw, just a bunch of tedious personal info shit they want us to fill out for the billionth time
Anybody got assigned to a team? Or still too early for that?
will s&t get assigned to a team?
Did you not get a survey to fill out/?
nope... when was the survey sent?
Any word on when we’ll hear back about managers?
Hopefully early this upcoming week
I have a summer internship offer at a DB, London but I had to return back to Asia due to the pandemic situation and I haven't received any information yet from the firm if I can start the internship from Asia or not. Anyone else in the same situation?
anyone know if we are paying NYC taxes even though most of us are not in NYC? i feel like we shouldnt
delete
same here. glad im the only one who hasn't received the link yet
I just got the email with all of the information. Altho the link that’s supposed to access the token doesn’t work so I had to email HR
I haven’t heard anything yet besides the emails telling us to expect another email with the token thing lol
c’mon DB, where’s the info
I got the login info email, but it’s not letting me log in. I was able to use the 8 digit code to get in initially and create a PIN, but then it logged me out. I can’t log back in now. Can anyone help?
Nvm, the email they sent before said to ignore the last few steps.
my link for the token thing doesn't work. anyone else in the same boat?
If you’re using gmail try Apple Mail or some other app
thx. that worked. when did you get the email with the password? i haven't received mine yet
did anyone not get a token login email at all? I just got the initial emailing explaining the token thing but never received a followup
Any idea what training will look like? Also do we have to have our camera on at all times/8 or however many hours that we're working straight?
Do we have a Groupme or groupchat going? If not I am happy to create one - i think it would be helpful going into the internship.
sounds like a great idea!
bump
Is there a link to the groupme?
They deleted it
is there another groupme?
imo probably better to just wait until the internship starts. you prob dont want randoms joining the group chat. the platform will probably have some chat/forum function anyways
Anyone else having trouble logging into dbRAS web.db? In prior emails we were told to hold off on this step until July 6 but it looks like you have enough information to sign in now, if you got the dbRAS token
I'm not sure whether we are supposed to wait until Monday to log into the system or we are supposed to test now if it works?
Yeah I’ve been trying all morning and I can’t get it to work. They mentioned they’ll create our profiles Monday morning so maybe that is why the current dbRAS website isn’t working. But they also included that set up process in the DocuSign stuff so I’m really confused whether to wait or not
Bump -- was anyone successful in logging into dbRAS?
Yes, just followed the instructions
After I log in, it says Token Resync Required. Please enter an additional token code to continue.
Did anyone else have this problem?
I also can't get it to work. What's even more frustrating is the support numbers and websites don't even work.
Yeah the hour that they have reserved for IT tomorrow will forsure get extended to 2 hours. Also does anyone think that an intern groupie of some sort will be created within the next few days?
Okay I was able to get through. I realized you have to click on the arrow at the bottom of the app after typing in your PIN. But now I can't log into the Citrix virtual desktop. Says my account is disabled.
Really hoping these tech issues are addressed tomorrow morning. It still says my username or password are incorrect for dbRASweb and the tech support numbers require you to have a DB phone number
anyone putting hours for overtime? if so, how much?
Any word on when return offers will be given out?
