Dear all,

I will have an interview with Deutsche Bank GMC on this Friday. Can anyone tell me whether the case studies are candidate-led or interviewer-led? Also, if anyone was invited to the interview, could anyone give me some insider information about how the case studies as well as personal questions look like ? Best thanks
