Can anyone provide an update on culture at DB in 2026 (in the US)? I've heard the HC group has made some changes lately like the new group head, but has the culture changed significantly? What about Industrials or Sponsors? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Takes a while for those things to change, HC has some good (for a db coverage) pockets. Industrials is pitch heavy / gets a lot of shots on goal, so you’ll work a lot but people seem generally nice. Sponsors is top group in the bank & lean but great culture from my experience working with them.
How about their LevFin group?
Good but sweaty. zero modeling though
I can promise you healthcare is not doing well. Would go literally anywhere else but that hellhole.
??? restructuring crazy rn and new APAC director is fucking crushing it rn in HC
Mind PMing me? Would be great to ask a few questions.
Anyone know about the LatAm group?
How is consumer? They brought in the guy from lazard. Has that translated into more deals?
Do not join DB healthcare ever. some of the most toxic people you'll ever work with
Can second this, avoid at all costs
What DB groups in NY would you recommend then?
levfin
LevFin, FSG, and REGLL are only 3 good teams there. Business services was great but recently lost their whole crew (minus a few) to JPM
Could you PM me?
global head has been firing and hiring left right and center — m&a activity looking great in the foreseeable future and HC is planning to dominate for sure — good looks
Hahahaha

Would stay away from HC at all costs
Why? Any details on the HC group
Any note on tech?
It’s a mid tier group. Prob around the same as to what’s left of consumer & business services. Would take FIG over tech tho, people seem a lot more chill and recently they’ve been better.
Industrials culture was pretty bad around Covid, not sure if it ever improved
Bump - any updates on the DB teams?
