Deutsche Bank Offer — What is going on at the bank/Should I be concerned?

I have an offer from Deutsche Bank for their investment banking generalist program. I am being told that the Bank is going downhill fast (look at the news recently) — should I be concerned about this? Is their reputation tarnished? I just want to be at a good Bank w strong exit ops. What is going on with DB!

No....roll the dice and talk to more banks. I have 10 days to sign and renegging looks bad. Therefore, if the other banks won’t accelerate me, and I want to be ethical, I have to decline DB and hope I get another offer.

Do you think it is ethical for a bank that is doing layoffs to give 10 day exploding (coercive) offers to 19-20 year old sophomores this early in the process? What about if this same bank continues to decline and in 13 months it rescinds some of these offers? I understand why DB is doing this, and they should also understand when people renege for better offers later on. This is the game they are choosing to play.

 

You honestly should be fine. DB is still respected by actual Wall Street bankers, and analysts still exit to PE. If DB IBD collapses, I'm sure you could lateral to another bank or the heads of the groups may take you along to wherever they're going.
