Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
First two days included a lot of insight about finance, including talk about forex, bonds and bank statements. The third day was a lot more involved in tech, talking about UI/UX and AI in the business. There was a lot of networking with grads, HR, and a lot of students that were part of different divisions such as OA, FIC and CB, which allowed us to connect with other disciplines outside of TDI
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was extremely interesting and informative. I got insight into how each role operated as well as how they communicate with each other. For example, how investment bankers link with Software Engineers

5/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Absolutely amazing. Everyone was super friendly and open to answer any questions. However, there was still professionalism as well as transparency about roles and tasks that have to be done in the bank, which I really liked as it gave me a good idea of what I would want to do if I were to receive a summer or graduate placement later on in my career

I really enjoyed it. It’s a very good experience to be able to network with multiple people across the industry, as well as gain an insight into what they do in their day to day lives. I also liked how even though I was specifically in the technology sector (TDI), I still had an opportunity to learn about finance and other sides of the bank.

Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Deutsche Bank
For technology specifically, make sure you know what you want to do relating to programming. This is because in a bank, programs and technology are highly regulated, meaning that you may not get a lot of freedom with what you want to implement or create. However, you still work on a lot of projects that make a lot of impact, so if you don’t mind the strictness, it’s still a great place to program.
