    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • During the SiB at Deutsche Bank I was able to meet several analysts, associates and senior employees during the panels, the networking sessions and the networking. I even had lunch with several analysts on Wednesday and Thursday.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • The analysts shared their way of life with us, and I could realize how close their relationship is. They work a lot and spend many hours in the office, but also they enjoy different activities together outside of work (sport, restaurants, going out, etc.).

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Definitely yes, not only as an amazing professional experience but also as a personal one.
