Great resource for someone trying to work on Wall St

Purchased the PE Interview Prep Course off of WSO and scored an internship with an UMM PE fund. I believe the way the content is structured really helps, plus I found it comforting to have a guide being written by people that actually have been in the industry. Thus, would recommend and am actively promoting the course to friends looking to get into PE.

WSO has been a depository of knowledge for finance professionals like myself. From guides to tips, WSO is a community where everyone benefits. From my experience, everyone seems to want to help everyone which speaks highly of the online culture Patrick is trying to promote. I highly recommend WSO for aspiring Wall Street professionals!

I found WSO as a platform very useful when recruiting. There were plenty of threads with detailed insights about various professions in the financial field. I found it very useful when I was in college and was trying to understand where my interests best fit. And once I figured it out, I was able to leverage threads/other users to get better insight about the nitty gritty details. While I will say you won't immediately get a job by following the site, the various conversations definitely made me more knowledgeable/more prepared for interviews.

I was an investment banking analyst for 3 years and now work in private equity on the fundraising / IR side. WSO was particularly helpful for me when I was 1) considering pursuing IB as a career path while I was in college and 2) mentally preparing / anticipating my internship. I did not find the site especially useful once I was an analyst, although to be fair, I didn't really spend time trying to use the site much. The main exception to that was occasionally checking top posts when certain headlines caught my attention and I typically enjoyed reading a post or two a week. The other exception was trying to use the site when recruiting for PE in my first year as an analyst / deciding if I should recruit on-cycle or not. Overall, I think that this is a good website, particularly because of more senior community members who are willing to give their time to help guide new and incoming analysts. One thing that always frustrated me though was not having credits to like or dislike a comment on a thread.

Siterunners allow racism, toxicity, misinformation, misogyny, and straight up degenerate behavior on their forums. Anytime someone tries to post something inquisitive it gets trashed. This place is dead
