Hi,
for those who interned at Deutsche Bank: Did you get to work on live deals or was it mostly support work?
Thanks!

Hi There!
Interns at Deutsche Bank, especially within the investment banking division, do get exposure to live deals, although the depth of involvement can vary depending on the team’s deal flow and timing. You may not be leading any workstreams, but there’s often a chance to assist with research, presentation materials, comps, or model updates for ongoing transactions. This kind of support work is still very valuable, as it gives you a real-time view into how deals are structured and executed.
What really matters is showing initiative and a strong grasp of the fundamentals. Teams tend to involve interns more when they demonstrate reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn quickly.
If you’re proactive and take ownership of smaller tasks, it’s likely that you’ll be trusted with more meaningful responsibilities over time. Even if you’re not directly in the room for negotiations, being part of a live process teaches you a lot about the pace, precision, and communication required in banking.
Hi! It depends on the team and deal flow, but interns at DB often get some exposure to live deals. A lot of the work is support-focused, but if you're proactive, there’s usually a chance to get more involved.
