德意志银行面试经验

面试告一段落，虽然失败，还是写下经历，积累经验。
下文为伦敦DB投行面试经验。抵达伦敦，又见到那肮脏的地铁和拥挤的人群。晚上和伦敦的同学问了无数人转了无数弯才找到明天的面试集会地点。下车的那个地铁站在今年夏天曾经发生过爆炸，旁边的火车站显得比其他的火车站都要乱。同学跟我说这就是伦敦的‘CITY’，金融中心。
英国的冬天，下午四点就看不见太阳了，6点多的天空就只剩个大月亮了。这边竖立着的楼群便是个大投资银行，楼高的自然是财大气粗，楼矮的可能是保持低调。总之是一个银行一座楼。同学跟我说这些都是我们原来说的‘碗’，我便看到一个个灯火通明的‘碗’摆在那里，明天的面试就会像去日本餐馆吃寿司一样，一个个碗随着传送带将从我身边滚过。。。总之明天的大忽悠原则就是：忽悠住了，这碗就是你的；忽悠不住，碗就走了。。。
面试当天，自然是西装革履，天还没亮就出门了，地铁里人可真多，不过看上去所有人都好像还没睡醒。终于在BANK转了一道车，来到了那个地铁站，走上去。。。咦。。。怎么和昨天不一样，糟糕，一定是出错门了。。。幸好离8：30还有一段时间，于是又转了一大圈终于找到面试的集会地。8：15走进大厅，里边早已经到了好多人，今上午面试的大概有20个人，加上我有4 个中国学生。这段时间便开始和周围的人聊天，也顺便了解了一下他们，都是读硕士的，自然也是来自那些IC, LSE, CAMBRIDGE。。。还有从别的国家坐飞机赶来的。
8：30到了，一个HR出来了，说第一项先进行考试，考试的形势是：paper based, no calculator, 30mins answer 33 questions. 有点紧张。
进入考场找了个位置做好，听完小HR的啰嗦，便开始做题，还要图答题卡，一个题有12个选项，天哪，这时间怎么够。打开卷子，前三个题目就不明白他问的什么意思，天哪这可怎么是好，折腾了半天终于算出来了，赶紧往后算。。。。赶。。。刚做完24题，时间到了！'stop please! close your booklet...'小HR Bitch道。完了，24道题再错上两道，肯定过不了。算了不想了，还是准备下一个程序吧，我是第二组面试的，所以还有45分钟的复习时间，不是很紧张。
面试之前，又被带到另外一座楼上，LONDON WALL。。。路上跟以女生交谈，那个女生比较健谈，不像另外一女生那么装X，总之今上午面试的就没什么女生。路上了解到那女生来自CAMBRIDGE CLARE COLLEGE，她申请的是'Corporate Finance' (和我不是一个部门). 他问我考得怎样，做了几个，对曰：‘考得不好，做了24个。’她说她才做了22个。确实这些题目是有点不顺手，还是得多练才行。女生说她要回家，我问为什么，答道考得太差。我安慰道：try your best。
不一会儿，我们便来到了面试的那座楼，刚才那个装x的女生出来了，怎么才半个小时就出来，看上去面红耳赤，没什么精神，没准是没忽悠住，被问住了。。。天哪，难不成里边问得太难？还是别多想了，稍坐片刻，我们被一群HR分别带入不同的小屋中，因为每个人申请的部门不同，所以面试的人也不同。HR小姐送进我去之后就走了，里边坐着三个人，两个是我申请的部门的两个TEAMLEADER， 另外一个是做记录的。一一握完手，介绍完之后，给我到了一杯水便开始面试。

面试历时一个小时，自我感觉还是比较好的。后来的FEEDBACK也说面试比较POSITIVE， 败笔就是那个可恶的TESTING。。。总结经验，再接再厉。。。
总之面试的节奏是相当快的，很多要点也很难在短时间内说全面。他们还会在你说话中打断你，问出更深一步的问题。认真准备是必然的。。。
