Hi everyone,
After attending the spring week at DB in April, they have sent ACs to convert into summer. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience in terms of what kind of technical questions they might ask for a spring conversion?
Additionally, does anyone know what the best teams are at DB so I can target those if I potentially get a summer offer?
Thanks

DB ask everyone similar technical Qs. Walk me through DCF, LBO (high level), multiples, EV, basic accounting (depreciation goes up, link 3 statements). They do love asking macro questions such as rates / price of oil. Can get asked how is the market now, and expect follow up Qs based on what you say.
PM me. I’ll tell you
For sector team, Industrials >>> TMT > Infra = REGL >>> the rest. I would avoid consumer, terrible culture and still 0 deal flow despite several senior hires. Industrials will work you hard but great experience, head of the team is a machine
If you are interested, LevFin is one of the best on the street. Currently very lean and looking for juniors due to very high deal flow

Culture is pretty good in all of the above. Ask yourself also if you prefer to work in a large or small team. REGL is like 8, industrials 50
lol I got the conversion interview soon too mine is in late May so if yours is earlier you can help me out, and if mine is earlier I’ll let you know
How is the healthcare team?
Dogshit
High turnover
Focus on getting into TMT, its their best group by far.
Why do you think this?
The Healthcare team is pretty strong
In what sub-sectors? How is the culture and hours of the team?
Shit culture.
Crap culture, high amount of hours and high turnover - probably good deal flow though (unsure)
if you're interning at DB IB London, I feel sorry for you.
