got rejected week ago after HV (applied on 21.10)
DB has been running assessment centres for quite some time now. They are I believe roughly 55-60% full.
Grad ACs out last week
For origination and advisory ?
Yes
dont suppose anyone knows the status of S&T grad?
Got a call from a recruiter this week to confirm exp on my CV. She said they will be in touch shortly, but haven’t heard back
ac probs coming then
Any updates or news on AC for SA O&A this week?
afaik offers should be out by the second week of December since we have an upcoming event for new joiners in London
Does anyone know whether seasonal internship ACs start later/after SA/Grad?
Bump
?
Has anyone found they’re going for a certain kind of candidate? A few classic target friends of mine got surprisingly early rejections
Rejections post-AC or pre-AC?
Both, about 25:75
Received AC invite for O&A grad programme for next Monday. Anyone know how many Acs have been done already / how many spots filled from spring programme?
FT and SA offers have been sent out at my uni yesterday
I'm across the pond, but congrats to everyone who got offers. DB's UK office looks like a really progressive place to be atm!
Hi do you mind elaborating further? Thanks!
1) A clear prioritisation to grow their M&A practice with a 5-10 year structured Plan
2) A real push to hire capable juniors which is rare in this current job market
3) Hiring many senior prominent deal makers such as Alison Harding Jones, a few months ago this looked a bit top heavy however, with time deals will start to definitely come in.
4) Strong Industrials and LF teams. Also there's been a recent push to grow the FIG team too. It's shaping up nicely.
5) Strong returns, new office, solid name brand, and if you want, you can definitely exit to MF PE or lateral to a better BB if you're ambitious.
Overall head and toes over the US office in terms of current opportunity and growth.
Has anyone done AC for TDI?
has anyone received the AC for the seasonal O&A internship march 2025 in London
Was contacted by HR 2 wks ago, followed up last Friday - still in review. Checked the posts from last year - and some people were posting in Jan/Feb that they received offers post ACs
..
Welp… you never know I guess
do they send offers / rejections the same day to everyone who did the AC that week?
anyone received an update on this?
It is slow process - sometimes it takes up to three weeks to get back to candidates after the AC. Some good candidates got lost due to such tardiness
Do they call all the candidates the same day regardless of the outcome?
Can anyone who has done an AC please share some insights on it? Would really appreciate it
Done the SA AC couple weeks ago so ill try my best. 3 45 minute long interviews, Technical, Competency and case study (can be any order, not neccesarily the same order as the people you are doing it with.) Technicals and competencies i think are pretty self explanatory, and case study is document given to you right after introduction where you have 30-45 mins (i cant rlly remember) to prepare answers for a few questions that are to be delivered in a 'presentation' (its just the start of the case study) and then for the remaining time they can ask you other questions regarding the case study that you wont have an answer prepared to. btw the office is v cool and they have some tasty biscuits that i recommend eating in between the interviews, where you'll probably have a 45 minute break in between each, although some ppl have like 1 hour 40 gap in between. Also you wont finish at the same time as everyone else in your group bc the interviews are staggered. Good luck if you have an AC, feel free to ask any follow ups.
May I ask how long did you hear back after your AC? thank you
Does anyone know if there has been any ACs or just any update on Corporate Banking SA position?
thanks!
Anyone who has done AC of O&A grad still haven’t heard back? It has been over two weeks now and so curious about how it is going right now
Email the recruiting team for a follow-up if over 2 weeks
Any news?
..
still haven’t heard back for the AC, have you?
..
Do you think they’re still doing or will be doing the ACs for seasonal internship?
Any update on Fixed Income and Currencies Graduate Programme?
I heard that European class is full of
Assuming you're talking about IB, did your source (HR/insider) say this for summer or grad?
And by European class, do you mean DB LDN has finished for summer/grad for Europeans in the LDN cohort?
Yes SA class is complete. The
Hey! My AC was in the first week of May for the O&A internship starting in September. They said they will respond within two weeks.
Just wanted to know if its normal for them to take more than 3 weeks and if there's a chance I could still get a positive response?
I was under the impression that they must have already sent out offers to their first choice of candidates and only when they reject the offer,, maybe the others will get a chance.
