The Why.

Every year some of the brightest, most driven and optimistic undergraduates from top colleges and universities embark on a career on Wall Street. At some point along the way many of these same students become disillusioned, frustrated and stressed about their job. What is my next step? Should I go to business school? Should I try to get a job in private equity at X fund? What about hedge funds or consulting at Y company?

The primary goal of WallStreetOasis.com is to help educate young finance professionals and students as they approach critical career decisions while simultaneously providing an outlet that can make them laugh. It is a place where finance professionals can come to learn more about other related fields, network with other users and even apply to specific jobs that interest them.

The History.

WallStreetOasis.com was initially launched in May 2006 as iBankingOasis.com, a forum-based site for investment bankers and prospective monkeys. As growth has accelerated and more professionals from other industries have joined (private equity, hedge funds, S&T, equity research, asset management, consulting, etc.), we decided to make them feel more welcome by changing the name to WallStreetOasis.com.
