    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • The spring insight programme was a 4-day programme on Zoom where we learned about banking, the technology used in banking and various skills workshops. There were also many fun activities and oppurtunities to connect and network with other students taking the programme.

    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I thoroughly enjoyed the insight and I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain more knowledge as to what life might be like in the FinTech industry. The programme was almost perfect. The one tiny issue with the program is that it is a bit too intense; nine hours of zoom in one day is not good for the human body XD.

    • 5/5
  • 7. Would you recommend Deutsche Bank to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Deutsche Bank

    • I'd say the following are very essential if you want to be selected: - Practice psychometric tests - Write a top notch cover letter that shows genuine interest in the FinTech industry - Be genuine in interviews, don't try and come up with the "perfect" answer they're looking for, but rather an answer that is geniune and not memorised. - In interviews, if you don't know something, then clearly say so, you don't want to annoy the interviewer by wasting their time (this links back to being honest and geniune).
