Deutsche Bank S&T Interview Advice

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some tips for your Deutsche Bank S&T assessment center:

1. Technical Knowledge:

   • Brush up on fixed income concepts, as you're targeting the FIC desk. Familiarize yourself with Hull's Options, Futures, and Derivatives for general understanding.
   • For FICC-specific knowledge, Fabozzi's work is a good resource. Focus on relevant chapters that align with fixed income and credit products.
   • Be prepared for mental math and quick calculations, as these are often tested in S&T interviews.

2. Behavioral and Fit Questions:

   • Be articulate and structured in your responses. Avoid rehearsed answers but have a collection of experiences ready to demonstrate competencies like teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability.
   • Show genuine interest in the role and the desk. Be ready to explain why you're interested in S&T and Deutsche Bank specifically.

3. Networking and Desk Interaction:

   • If there’s a networking component, engage with everyone on the desk. Show curiosity and ask intelligent questions about their roles and the desk's operations.

4. Assessment Center Format:

   • Expect multiple rounds, including a mix of technical, behavioral, and possibly group exercises. Be prepared for a case study or trading simulation.
   • Double-check your work during exercises and maintain a positive attitude throughout.

5. General Tips:

   • Stay calm and composed. If you don’t know an answer, admit it and explain how you would approach finding the solution.
   • Be humble, avoid showing off, and focus on demonstrating a willingness to learn.
