Whats going on at Deutsche Bank, and how will incoming analysts be affected?

So... Incoming full-time analyst in the Equities group at DB. Didn't think this was going to happen when as a Sales and Trading Summer Analyst I accepted the full-time role as I didn't want to deal with recruitment again, but now I'm scared. Will I get fired after a month or two (or even before I start)? Or will the bank transition new hires to different roles? Do you think I should ask my incoming manager?

Your incoming manager is probably getting fired today or in the next few weeks/months along with his whole team and probably doesn't have a clue about anything... This really sucks :/ They might find some role for you but i would prepare for the worst. On the bright side it won't be help against you and it's not an industry wide issues so hopefully you'll find something (Not 2008 type of scenario)

 

Well, that stinks but I guess at least you're being honest. Do you think they'd hire analysts for a few months and then fire? Or tell them right now not to bother? Also, is it worth going to HR and ask to transfer groups?

Also, if I end up working for a few months and then getting laid off, will it look good or bad on my resume?
