On Tuesday and Thursday respectively after class this week we had presentations by Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank. Luckily for me the Goldman presentation was taken in English meaning I understood what was going on and got a great insight into how they have structured their investment bank. We were given a little insight into the Financial Crisis but GS faired so relatively well that they weren't too concerned with the situation! I had a good chat to the recruiting officer after giving me confidence in the job market for when I graduate next year.
The Deutsche Bank presentation on the other hand was held in German. I think I understood about a third of what was going on! Rainer Neske, the Global Manager of Private Wealth, spoke about a variety of things but gave a good insight into the market. He fielded some hot questions about banks which I thought he handled well. I can't imagine it would be too much fun fielding questions from pesky finance and business undergrad students! The Deutsche Bank presentation ended with a great 'meet and greet' session in the foyer. There are so many aspects to a bank's structure as I learnt with Goldmans and again with Deutsche. Although speaking with the Investment Bankers was, I had a really interesting chat with the inhouse consulting group. Not only was she a lovely person, but got me very excited about that area of the banking industry. I will look to apply for some summer positions and also for their graduate programs at the respective banks. I look forward to getting as much insight from a variety of organisations (not just Finance) over the coming months. I plan to keep making things hard for myself by leaving most decisions open for as long as possible with regard to industry.
