Hello everyone, I am Aditi Kambli, a Final Year Financial Engineering student from the Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture. I interned with Deutsche Bank Global Markets during summer 2019. I was working with the Rates Index Desk under FIC in DB CIB.
The selection procedure had an initial CV shortlisting and online test. Around 50 students were shortlisted by this process. After this, I had 4 rounds of interview. The first two rounds were technical where they tested my logical and quantitative skills and also grilled me on my CV. The third round waswith the senior management, where they mainly tested my confidence and my vision about my future goals. The final round was with the HR, where they again tested my soft skills and checked if I can fit well in the DB system.
One can prepare for the quant from books like Heard on the street and 50 challenging questions in probability. Also one needs to prepare well on any finance-related project they have undertaken in the past. One must also be very thorough with their CV.
I mainly worked on a Credit single name momentum Index which is essentially a first of its kind investment strategy in the institution. I also worked on automation of existing strategies and implemented few tools on python which increased the efficiency of work for the desk. I worked in the rates, credit and FX domains.
The flat hierarchy in DB allows the interns to not only interact with analysts and associates but also with the senior management. The culture is very accommodating and everyone is very approachable and eager to help in case of any problem.
The best part of the selection process is that DB doesn’t require a candidate to have any prior knowledge in finance. They look for excellence in anything that we have done in our past. This allows everyone an equal chance to apply for the internship.
My only advice will be to be confident and believe in what you have done until now. The most important thing is that you should be able to justify what you have done till now and you should have a valid reason of why you want to join the company and how you can prove to be an asset for them.
