Additional info from Patrick:
Putting "Wall Street Oasis" on your resume when you are trying to break into Wall Street is a way to demonstrate an interest in finance. Even if it is just 1-2 bullets -- showing some relevant experience is important.
It is a great internship option to those that are having trouble breaking into a bank and/or want to supplement what they are already doing to make themselves more competitive. For many of our previous interns, the experience has helped them tremendously. We want to make sure you also gain a lot from the internship which is why we offer so many perks.
I am willing to serve as a personal reference for the interns/reps that show a dedication to WSO and go above and beyond. Whether that is an introduction over LinkedIn or some advice over e-mail, I like to help our best interns to make sure they are headed in the right direction and have a great shot at landing their dream job."
