“I think that Pablo was a good mentor but the one thing that I would say is that he had talked a little too much. He was almost explaining things too much and it was not the best. I liked what he had said about how to stand out, he talked about how you are basically marketing yourself when you are in the recruiting cycle. He also said that I should apply to both banking and to private equity and use chatgpt to help out with the pathway for these career paths. He also said that networking calls are so important and told me why which was good to hear.”

“Super helpful and nice. I could tell he was dropping genuinely differentiated knowledge on how to stand out in this very competitive process. Pablo has a diverse experience recruiting and working for many firms, so his expertise shines through. Plus, he is a genuinely caring person, and I could feel that he only wants the best for me. I will definitely return to Pablo for more sessions - mock interviews, behavioral reviews, and any questions I might have further down the line, and I recommend the same for everyone else. ”

“The questions were amazing and genuinely challenging, which made the session extremely valuable for me. Going into the mock interview, I felt that I had memorized and understood most of the critical technical concepts, but Julius pushed me beyond the surface-level knowledge and went much deeper into the accounting side. That was especially helpful because it showed me the difference between simply knowing the main concepts and being able to confidently explain the details, connections, and reasoning behind them under pressure. The behavioral portion was just as useful. Julius gave me very detailed feedback on how I should prepare for questions related specifically to my background, experiences, and story. Rather than only practicing the standard behavioral questions, we discussed how interviewers could dig deeper into different parts of my resume and ask follow-up questions about my academic path, previous experiences, motivations for finance, and the decisions I have made along the way. This helped me understand that I need to be prepared not only with strong initial answers, but also with clear and thoughtful explanations for almost every important part of my background. One of the biggest takeaways from the session was identifying the areas where I should spend more time developing a deeper level of understanding instead of relying on memorization. Julius was very good at asking follow-up questions that tested whether I actually understood the underlying concepts, which gave me a much clearer picture of what a real interview could feel like. We also created a longer-term preparation plan together. Our goal is to work together approximately once every two to three weeks and use each session to focus deeply on a particular topic. Instead of trying to cover everything at once, we will gradually specialize in different areas and build my knowledge step by step, while continuing to work on behavioral questions and my overall interview story. I think this structure will be extremely helpful because it gives me enough time between sessions to study independently, address the weaknesses we identify, and come back better prepared for the next topic. Overall, the session gave me a much better understanding of where I currently stand, what interviewers may expect from me, and what I need to improve before recruiting begins. I left the session with very clear action items and a much more structured approach to my preparation.”

“I had a very positive experience with my mentor and I am truly grateful for the time, support, and guidance they provided throughout our sessions. From the very beginning, my mentor was extremely kind, approachable, and available, which made it easy to communicate openly, ask questions, and discuss both my goals and uncertainties about the next steps in my career. One of the most valuable parts of the mentoring experience was the work we did together on my LinkedIn profile. We essentially rebuilt and improved it from scratch, carefully going through my previous experiences, skills, and achievements and discussing how to present them in a clearer and more effective way. My mentor helped me understand how important it is to have a strong and well-structured LinkedIn profile and how to use it to communicate my strengths, professional interests, and career goals. The feedback and practical suggestions I received were extremely useful, and I now feel much more confident about how I present myself professionally online. Beyond my LinkedIn profile, I particularly appreciated the practical tips and honest advice my mentor shared with me about how to approach the next steps in my career. The guidance was not limited to improving my online presence, but also helped me think more strategically about where I want to go and how I can get there. I received valuable suggestions on how to position myself, what aspects of my profile to focus on, and how to approach future opportunities more effectively. Another aspect I appreciated was my mentor’s willingness to listen and adapt the conversations to my specific needs. I never felt that the sessions were generic or simply followed a predefined structure. Instead, the discussions were tailored to my situation, which made the advice much more relevant and actionable. My mentor was patient when explaining things, encouraging when I had doubts, and constructive when pointing out areas where I could improve. Overall, this mentoring experience gave me both practical tools and greater confidence in taking the next steps in my professional journey. I came away with a significantly improved LinkedIn profile, a clearer understanding of how to communicate my experience and strengths, and a better idea of how to approach my future career development. I would definitely recommend this mentor to anyone looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. Their kindness, availability, and practical approach made the experience extremely valuable, and I am very grateful for all the time and effort they dedicated to helping me.”

“Kevin was incredibly helpful. He took the time to do a coffee chat with me and was candid about where I could improve. His main point was that I should build more knowledge of the industry before these conversations, so I can ask sharper questions and show I've done my homework. He also gave me a clear framework for the conversation itself. Start by asking about their background and how they got into their role. Then ask for advice for my field, including what they would do in my shoes. He also explained when it is and isn't appropriate to ask for a referral, which is something I hadn't thought through before. ”

“I want to give my highest recommendation to Craig, who coached me on interview preparation as I move from structural biology into equity research. In a single session, he changed how I think about telling my own story. He started with my Tell Me About Yourself answer. Within minutes he saw that it read like a walk through my CV, and he explained why that misses the point. An introduction is not a list of achievements; it is a bridge to the interviewer's next question, something they will want to explore. He was just as clear about what already worked, which told me exactly what to keep and what to rebuild. He then pushed me on the question that matters most for a career changer: why. My turn into finance was too abrupt, and he challenged me to explain the emotional reason behind it, not just the credentials. He also made sure I was ready for the question every interviewer will ask, which is why a successful scientist would leave the lab for equity research. That one conversation reshaped my whole narrative. Craig was equally sharp on my behavioural stories. He saw that a story I had filed under strengths was really about teamwork and leadership, and he put into words something I had never articulated myself: that my greatest strength is my ability to connect people. When my ethics story missed the mark, he told me so plainly and explained what interviewers are really testing for, a genuine dilemma where doing the right thing carries personal risk. What sets Craig apart is his combination of candour and generosity. He never softened feedback to the point of being unhelpful, yet every comment came with a clear path forward, and I always felt he was invested in my success. He listens closely, hears what a story is really saying, and knows exactly how an interviewer will hear it. I left our session with much sharper answers and far more confidence. I would recommend Craig without hesitation to anyone preparing for interviews, especially those making a career transition. Thank you again, Craig.”

“Julius is great. This was my first mock interview with him and definitely not the last. Before the session, he emailed me a clear plan of what we would cover: behaviorals like Why Citi and Why IB, sector trends and recent deals, classic technicals across accounting, DCF, comps, LBOs and accretion/dilution, and conceptual questions to test whether I actually understood the material rather than just memorizing answers. That structure made my preparation much more focused. During the mock, he pushed past the standard answers to check my understanding, which showed me exactly where I need to go deeper. He is very responsive over email, knowledgeable about the recruiting process, and clearly invested in helping me improve. I have been learning a lot from him and plan to book more sessions.”

“Direct, clear communication. Quick responses. Straight to the point, very helpful, and enjoyable to interact with. The process went much faster than expected, and I got the help I needed. Raphael helped me translate my resume from tasks to detailed, quantified outcomes. He also helped reposition it around my strongest signals and strengthened finance and IBD relevance. The whole process happened over email; we didn't schedule an in-person call. Since Raphael recommended scheduling one in the future, and the collaboration was pleasant and effective, I will do so for further guidance as I move through the next steps of my journey at WSO.”

Drawing directly from his extensive background, Andre provided a comprehensive breakdown of the two primary industries I am targeting. He walked me through what the recruiting and day-to-day processes actually look like, offering realistic expectations and clear context. Beyond general guidance, he gave actionable advice on technical topics to focus on, specific industry readings, and key preparation steps. To top it off, Andre generously shared a PDF with curated reference materials that will be an invaluable resource for my prep. Overall, his advice was structured, encouraging, and immensely helpful for setting my path forward.”

“We already had a session before my round1 interview, which was somewhat helpful. I enjoyed my conversation with him and his insight into the process+industry the first time, so I decided to book again with him. This time we focused mainly on market making and probability questions. We also spent about 15 minutes talking about what a day in the life of the industry actually looks like, and how traders operate at different types of firms. An actionable takeaway he gave me was to study variance and stdev before my market making interview.”

“The mentoring sessions were extremely valuable and played an important role in improving both the quality and the overall presentation of my CV. The mentor took the time to go through every single aspect of the document in great detail, providing clear and practical feedback on the content, structure, wording, and overall positioning of my experiences. One of the most valuable aspects of the sessions was the mentor’s ability to understand the specific requirements and expectations of the Investment Banking industry. Rather than simply making general improvements, he carefully reviewed each section of my CV and helped me identify how to better present my academic background, professional experiences, skills, and achievements in a way that is relevant and attractive to Investment Banking recruiters. The mentor also completely restructured the CV, helping me move from an initial version to a polished final format specifically suited to Investment Banking applications. The final result was much more concise, professional, and impactful, while ensuring that the most relevant information was clearly highlighted. His attention to detail was particularly helpful in improving the wording and making each bullet point more focused on achievements and measurable impact. Another aspect I particularly appreciated was his responsiveness. He was extremely quick in answering my questions and providing feedback, which made the entire process very efficient. Whenever I had doubts or needed clarification, I received a prompt and detailed response, allowing me to continuously improve the CV without unnecessary delays. Overall, the mentoring sessions provided significant value and gave me a much clearer understanding of how to position my profile for Investment Banking opportunities. I am very satisfied with the final version of my CV and with the level of guidance and support provided throughout the process. I would highly recommend this mentoring experience to anyone looking to strengthen their CV and prepare it effectively for a career in Investment Banking.”

“Today’s session with Andreas was extremely helpful and valuable. He provided me with practical networking advice, particularly on how to approach professionals more effectively and improve the number of responses I receive from my outreach. He also helped me think through an important decision regarding which HSBC programme would be the best fit for my interests, experience and long-term career goals. His guidance gave me greater clarity and confidence about my next steps. As always, Andreas was thoughtful, supportive and easy to speak with, and I really appreciate the time and effort he dedicated to helping me.”

“I felt like Adam was very knowledgable overall in what I need to do and the next steps I should take. I do feel like there was a little bit in the middle where I felt like I felt a little bit discouraged (although that might just be normal for a harsh interviewer), but I felt like this made me realise a little bit more of what I need to work on. I will say that there were some things that didn't make me feel too great about myself, however I understand and I know that it is for the best of me and I know what I need to work on.”

Real Students. Real Results.
Hear how our alumni used the program to get amazing outcomes
Coming from Case Western, I wasn't a finance major, but WSO Academy was a game-changer. I went from sending 50 emails a month to 1,200 in two months using their automation tools. The mentors helped me totally nail interviews, even for restructuring, leading to my Morgan Stanley IB offer. Definitely worth it!
I got Spring Weeks at Goldman and PJT, then a middle market PE internship in NYC. Recruiting from Singapore was tough, but WSO mentors, especially Cindy, helped me figure out what I really wanted and how to prep for interviews that used to scare me.
Starting early was key. I began networking freshman year even when it felt awkward. My Aggie network was huge and mock interviews made me sharp. Lazard really cared about my behaviorals and who I was. Have a life outside studying... they want the whole you.
As an international student and former varsity soccer player, I started with a blank slate—no accounting class, no playbook. WSO’s structure and mentor network turned chaos into a plan. Repetitions on storytelling and case prep built the muscle I needed to push through rejections and ultimately earn my BCG offer.
I came in late, my resume was a mess, and I wasn’t sure I was ready. WSO Academy got me on track fast. They cleaned up my resume, drilled me on technicals, and helped me break into IB with a boutique, then land Wells Fargo. Super helpful mentors who really knew their stuff.
Breaking into finance as a liberal arts international student at Kenyon felt impossible. My resume was a mess, and I was totally lost. But WSO Academy swooped in... I ramped up networking like crazy (150+ calls!) and their mentors helped me nail my mocks. That preparation led to 3 superdays and my Morgan Stanley offer.
I was doing the work, but my interviews were still all over the place—my stories were rambly and I didn’t know what ‘good’ sounded like. The Academy mentors helped me tighten my story, sharpen my behaviorals, and drill live mocks so I could walk into interviews with a clear structure and confident delivery. Once I cleaned that up, everything clicked—and I landed my GS offer.
I joined WSO late, with only a couple of coffee chats done and not much finance experience. Getting my resume in shape, doing mocks early, and using the networking tools helped me get up to speed fast. I went from feeling behind to getting around 10 calls a week, and the Renewable Energy course was a game changer for my project finance interviews. By the end of February, I landed my offer.
As a Colby freshman, I had no direction despite wanting finance. WSO Academy gave me a detailed plan and framework. I was doing three to five calls daily and even visited NYC banks in person, which was a huge differentiator. They helped me land a private equity internship and Bank of America IBD.

I came into recruiting super late, well past the usual timelines, and I wasn’t part of any finance clubs. WSO Academy gave me a proven process and the mentorship I needed, from learning what restructuring even was to building an outreach strategy that landed me 50+ coffee chats. That preparation helped me break into Greenhill Restructuring in New York.
I started late, missed out on junior internship recruiting, and had to keep pushing through a lot of setbacks. WSO gave me the structure, feedback, and realistic prep I needed to improve fast. The mock interviews and mentor guidance were huge in helping me land a full-time offer in Energy Investment Banking at Scotiabank.
My first real interview was a wake-up call. I had one day’s notice, was completely scrambling, and walked out thinking I wasn’t ready for this process. Over winter break, I joined WSO and finally had structure, we rebuilt my story from scratch, tightened my answers so they sounded natural, and ran enough mock interviews that the technicals became second nature. Even when I had the flu during one of my Jefferies rounds, I still felt in control. I ended up getting the offer after the Superday and that confidence shift made all the difference.
I came to the U.S. at 15 and fought my way from a non-target school then got crushed in interviews and down to $800 in my account. I doubled down on prep with WSO Academy, and that’s what turned things around and got me into venture debt at Trinity Capital.
I started recruiting without really understanding how competitive the process was or how it actually worked. I went through rejection after rejection and a lot of ghosting, and it was honestly pretty disheartening. What WSO gave me was the technical knowledge I was missing and that gave me real confidence. Once I had that, interviews stopped being intimidating, and that’s when I landed my M&A Summer Analyst role at Rothschild & Co.
I knew I wanted real estate, but Academy helped me tell that story better. I talked to mentors like Teru and Nick, downloaded the modeling templates, and studied the macro stuff. It gave me a real edge in interviews. That’s how I ended up at Blackstone Real Estate full time.
I was super demotivated after club rejections. Fast forward after joining WSO, I sent 412 cold emails, getting 60 coffee chats thanks to them and my polished resume. I faced nine brutal first rounds and four superdays in one week, totally slammed! But Academy prepped me, leading to my BMO offer.
I built and exited companies, but when I decided to pivot into investment banking, I realized how much I didn’t know. I put my head down and grinded 200+ networking calls, late nights, constant reps but I needed to speak the language fluently. WSO helped me tighten my technicals, practice under pressure, and show up with confidence instead of hesitation. That edge made the difference I signed an offer to join JPMorgan’s Business Services group.
At Villanova I felt behind, competing with Ivy League kids and lacking real finance experience. WSO Academy’s mentors and bootcamps sharpened my technicals and taught me to network effectively. I went all in (sometimes skipping class for calls) and that persistence helped me land Evercore.
I was getting to final rounds at top quant shops, but just couldn’t quite land the offer. The Academy really made a difference, especially the quant mentors. Mocks with John and Jeremy were critical... they helped me with everything from brainteasers to my story. I went from rejections to an landing offer in the quant ISG group at Goldman. By the end, interviews were actually fun.
As a psychology major coming from a nontraditional background, I was struggling to position myself for private wealth management. WSO helped me tailor my resume, use referrals more strategically, and prepare for interviews. My first private wealth management application turned into an interview process, and I landed an offer at UBS in San Francisco.
Coming to Canada from India was a real academic culture shock, my grades dipped early on. WSO Academy gave me structure through mentorship and mock interviews, helped me tighten my story, and turn effort into results—first landing Sales & Trading at Scotiabank, and then a credit Investments at Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP).
Coming from audit in South Africa, I knew breaking into M&A in London wasn’t going to be easy. Recruiters wouldn’t even take my calls. But I wasn’t ready to just settle and “go into industry”. Thanks to the WSO Academy push, I started landing 15-20 networking calls a week. One of my earliest chats led to a buy-side analyst offer at PCB Partners. Took four months, but it changed my career.
I started super late at Carnegie Mellon, and networking felt like a huge uphill battle. Bank offers weren't converting... I even got ghosted for a month! But WSO Academy changed everything. Their mentors nailed my PE mocks, helping me land my dream software private equity internship. Couldn't have done it without them!
Breaking into investment banking was already hard, but doing it as an international student needing sponsorship and aiming for New York made it even tougher. WSO helped me build confidence through mock interviews, real recruiting advice, and access to real bankers, and that helped me land into New York investment banking at Canaccord Genuity.
I started without a clear understanding of investment banking and had no structured recruiting plan. Through WSO’s personalized guidance and structured preparation, I was able to close a steep learning curve and recruit effectively—ultimately landing a full-time Investment Banking Analyst role in London.
I went to culinary school before Brown - not the typical finance path. I started prepping early, and probably did 50-60 informational interviews. Never begged for referrals, just connected with people over stuff like cooking or school. WSO helped tighten up my resume and mock interviews, and that made a difference. Got offers at places like Morgan Stanley and a bunch of others.
I started as a total blank slate at UC Irvine, but WSO Academy transformed everything. I sent 3,000+ cold emails, did 220+ calls, and 10-12 mocks. That led to 18 first-round interviews and 8 superdays... eventually landing at MUFG!
I had seven years post-MBA in FP&A and consulting but felt stuck. I didn’t know how to pitch myself for banking. WSO Academy gave me structure, mentors who revamped my story and resume, and tough mocks that built my confidence. It helped me finally land an associate IB role at Morgan Stanley (the only candidate that received an offer that wasn't currently in an MBA program)
Was late, nontraditional, and unsure if WSO could help in the Middle East. Turns out they had mentors in UAE, Qatar, even other GCC countries. I got help on everything from financial modeling to behavioral prep. This made it possible to break into banking at one of Doha’s top firms.
Transferring schools, adjusting to Cornell, and juggling clubs, classes, and recruiting felt intense. I had zero Cornell alum connections. WSO Academy gave me structure, mentors, and mock support that helped me crush interviews. I stacked four off-cycle internships and landed UBS.
Coming from a non-target background and FP&A, I needed a clear way to compete without prior deal experience. WSO helped me tighten my resume, strengthen my interview story, and build confidence through technical prep and case-study mock interviews. With a structured networking push, I landed a full-time investment banking offer at a boutique firm in Montreal while working full time.
As a non-target student starting late, I felt like I was already behind. WSO Academy gave me the roadmap, accountability, and realistic mock interview practice I needed to break into investment banking and land a Wells Fargo investment banking offer.
I was coming from a less traditional path in commercial construction, trying to pivot into management consulting, but my applications and networking were not producing the results I needed. The mentorship, mock interviews, and live training helped me sharpen my story, communicate my transferable skills more clearly, and prepare for the interviews that ultimately led to my offer at Guidehouse.
I was stuck in back-office risk. Getting into finance late at McMaster felt like a battle, and my networking for top roles was just not cutting it. The mentors helped me nail my story and authentically brand myself for private equity and helped me land at CPPIB!
Came to Princeton as a student athlete recruited for softball. Didn’t think about careers until midway through sophomore year. Joined the Academy in January super late. Had barely ten calls done, within weeks I was doing 20 a week. The prep really helped, and I eventually landed an offer at UBS.
Before WSO I barely knew what IB was. I cold-called FP&A folks just to get reps. Once I joined, I had real feedback from mentors and a clear roadmap. Did a year at a boutique, made ~200 calls, and finally broke into a bulge bracket in New York.
I knew I couldn’t do it alone—my English and deal exposure weren’t there yet. With WSO’s guidance, I built confidence fast and landed at Corebridge on the investments team.
I was really flying blind… left a role that wasn’t for me, went all-in on WSO Academy, and ended up with an Associate offer at Harris Williams. I couldn’t have done it without WSO. Life changing. Worth every penny.
I was a sophomore, an athlete at Tufts, but felt unprepared for banking; I even missed the freshman accelerator! WSO Academy became my backbone. They gave me the roadmap and networking templates. I had sixty coffee chats and eleven first rounds, leading to my Barclays offer.
Didn’t know about high finance at Auburn. After two years in FP&A, I wanted something faster paced. WSO Academy helped me get there. I leaned on the technical courses, resume review, and strategy sessions with mentors. My first interview led to an offer. It was the perfect next step.
As an engineering major, I was doing back-office tech, and didn't know how to break into front office M&A. WSO Academy totally changed my view! Their bootcamps and IB interview prep were awesome for technicals. Plus, their mentors helped me craft an incredible story, making me competitive against finance majors.
Joining WSO Academy right before sophomore year was pivotal, even though I was nervous. Those hundreds of emails and countless mock interviews really sharpened me. It felt risky letting an early offer go, but trusting that intensive prep ultimately led me to a bulge bracket. It was quite a journey.
I came from a languages background in Italy and knew nothing about finance. WSO Academy helped me ramp up fast. I was connecting with twenty people a day on LinkedIn, learning a ton, and the bootcamps really built my foundation. That prep helped me land KPMG Deal Advisory and a top Master’s.
Freshman year sucked. I got rejected from 10+ clubs, had no clue how to prep, and my technicals were rough. WSO Academy helped me improve a lot, so I could hit the ground running. They fixed my resume, crushed the mocks, and landed 3 first rounds. Ended up getting Blair. Wouldn’t have happened without WSO.
Coming to UCL without much of a finance background, I had to learn the recruiting process from the ground up. WSO helped me become much more deliberate about networking and interview preparation. The mentors helped sharpen my outreach, refine my case study, and prepare for technicals, including the evening before my interview. I ultimately landed an M&A advisory internship in London.
After losing my job at a family office, I felt stuck and frustrated. WSO Academy gave me structure, accountability, and confidence. I completely revamped my outreach, spoke with over 60 professionals, and landed a consulting role at A&M. It honestly changed everything for me during a really tough time.
After my master’s, interviews basically stopped in January. I’d never networked and my CV read like a CS lab report. WSO mentors helped me revamp my CV and practice real outreach. Calls picked up again and I landed a quant research role. Simple as that.
Coming from the University of Miami, I knew breaking into high finance would take a lot of work. WSO Academy’s mock interviews helped me build confidence, improve my performance, and learn from mentor feedback. After more than 100 networking calls and six superdays, I landed an offer in Capital Markets at RBC. Getting that call made all the hard work worth it.
My GPA from UofT engineering wasn’t great, and I knew my technicals were weak. WSO Academy changed my approach. Alex helped me clean up my resume, the courses and mocks seriously leveled me up, and I just kept networking. After a long wait… got the offer from Scotia Capital!
I knew I wanted to get back on track toward investment banking. Once I joined WSO, the mentors helped me clean up my resume, sharpen my story, and fix my technical gaps, and within a few months I started getting real interviews and ultimately lateraled into investment banking at BDO.
WSO taught me how to tell my story. Once that clicked, conversations felt natural and interviews stopped feeling like guesswork.

Lost my job offer during COVID and worked three part-time jobs just to keep food on the table. Was applying everywhere and getting nothing. A friend said email WSO. That changed everything - the networking and structure helped me land at Fidelity.
I always felt early as a freshmen and unsure if I was doing the right things. The Academy gave me a reality check. I went from a few calls a week to nonstop networking. The mock interviews helped me stay calm in interviews. I ended up landing at Houlihan Lokey IB in New York.
I felt behind at Wake Forest with no finance classes... my resume wasn't hitting, and my stories were all over the place. WSO Academy really improved my answers. Their resume tips made my profile stand out, and mocks got me sharp. Long story short, I landed Raymond James Healthcare.
I pivoted from engineering at UCL super late like three months before graduation. I had zero finance prep, was totally scrambling, and honestly felt lost. WSO Academy gave me structure, intense mock interviews, and drilled the technicals. I even nailed a question no one else could. That probably landed me the offer!
Lost my offer a month after graduation and had no idea how to restart. WSO Academy gave me a plan. The bootcamps, equity research program, and mock interviews built my confidence fast. After speaking with nearly 100 people, I landed a financial analyst role at a Fortune 500. Would’ve been totally stuck without that support.
WSO Academy's mentorship and bootcamps helped me build my first DCF, teaching me on-the-job skills. Now, I'm teaching others... networking is key, but so is sharing knowledge with your peers. I turned down eight offers to take a risky Real Estate Investment Internship in Saudi that I was able to convert into a full time Investment Analyst role.
I didn’t have the ‘obvious’ brand-name path, and when my grad program ended without a seat, I realized I needed a real plan. WSO helped me tighten my positioning, focus my recruiting in Vienna, and sharpen my interview structure through mocks. I ended up landing a Deloitte Banking, Treasury & Capital Markets role in Vienna.
I applied to over 60 roles and couldn’t even reach a final round. WSO Academy showed me exactly how to approach networking and interviews. With mentors, office hours, and mocks, I became a much stronger candidate and landed a UBS placement.
I was a junior biochem major who missed all IB recruiting timelines. I felt disoriented and lacked resources. I joined WSO Academy in early 2024, and they helped me polish my CV... plus build confidence for tough interviews. I stacked internships and finally landed my an investment banking internship.
The Academy taught me how to actually move the networking conversation forward and get results. Practiced with mentors, built confidence... but the craziest thing is that I was able to connect with a mentor that had experience in the exact team that I was interviewing for at BlackRock prior to my final round. Ended up landing the offer after five mocks.
Coming from a non-finance background, I had already worked hard to break into investing, but recruiting still felt unstructured. WSO Academy gave me a much clearer approach to preparing my story and sharpening my technicals, which helped me go into interviews more prepared and ultimately land a growth equity role at Sofina.
Networking felt super uncomfortable at first. I had no idea how to talk to bankers without feeling fake. WSO’s practice networking sessions helped me handle any type of call and the bootcamps helped build out my technical base. Prepped stories, did tons of calls, and finally felt ready. Without WSO, I would’ve fumbled.
Missed the school’s mentorship program and didn’t start networking till late January. I had zero connections. WSO Academy gave me mentors who actually worked at the banks I interviewed at. Their mock interviews and insights helped me land TD Cowen in NYC healthcare. That access made a huge difference.
I knew I wanted to get into finance, but I had zero clue how the process worked and no real Excel or accounting background. Wall Street Oasis gave me the structure, technical foundation, and network I needed to actually make that transition possible.
Not being in Stern made things tough. I had no idea where to start until I joined WSO Academy around Christmas. The mentors challenged me, helped me get my story straight, and taught me how to network smart. That led me to Alex Partners for economic consulting in New York.
Recruiting for banking was already intense, but I was doing it while taking four classes, working 20 hours a week, and playing NCAA hockey. Coming from a liberal arts school, I didn’t have the same structured technical prep or interview roadmap as students in more traditional business programs. WSO helped me close that gap quickly and stay confident through the process and land RBC in Toronto.
Losing my job after a rotational program at Lloyd's hit my confidence hard. I felt lost and unsure what was next. I joined WSO Academy and they helped me regain confidence by refining my approach. Their mentors were blunt but supportive, helping me land my Capital Markets role at CIBC.

My goal was IB, but I didn't know where to start. Transferring schools mid-sophomore year was hectic with recruiting heating up. This is why WSO Academy was key, especially for nailing my story and getting my resume polished. Their mentors and mocks were super helpful for landing Wells IB and getting my career off to a great start!

Coming from a non-target, I had no finance knowledge and even faced visa issues that sent me back to Spain. WSO Academy gave me structure and mentors helped me clean up my resume and taught me how to network with senior bankers. That guidance and persistence helped me break into a boutique investment bank in London.
At Syracuse I was a sophomore with no plan, just applying randomly with no traction. WSO Academy’s equity research internship gave me real reps and mentors who taught me how to reach out the right way. After focused calls and cleaner materials I landed a full time role in Equity Research.

I was applying online and getting nowhere because I didn’t understand recruiting timelines. WSO Academy gave me a clear weekly checklist, mentor accountability, and a structured way to network with intention. I ramped up early, built real relationships, and turned an alumni connection into a PNC internship.
Thought I was networking with one or two coffee chats... turns out I wasn’t even close. WSO mentors showed me how to step it up, fix my story, and prep like a pro. The calls started coming, the interview hit faster than expected, and now I’m working at LSEG.

Offer got pulled after graduation (total panic mode). Cold outreach wasn’t working and I felt totally lost. WSO Academy gave me the what I needed: bootcamps, ER project, and constant feedback from mocks. That combo helped me rebuild my confidence and finally break in. It honestly changed everything.
As a CS major, I was late to quant finance recruiting and didn't know how to brand myself. WSO Academy gave me a structured approach to networking and self-presentation. Their mentors and mock interviews were crucial, helping me hit that 'inflection point' and land my quant role at Mackenzie Investments.

Came into Fordham knowing nobody in finance. WSO helped me build a system for networking, kept me accountable, and sharpened my interviews with tons of reps. That foundation helped me land Citi sophomore year, then Blackstone REPE junior year.
Before Academy, I felt uncertain about how to stand out. The mock interviews, technical courses, and story prep gave me real confidence, I walked into interviews and networking chats with clarity, and that made all the difference in landing equity research.
I started in management consulting but realized corporate finance was where I wanted to be. With hundreds of applicants for only a few spots, I knew I needed an edge. WSO Academy’s courses and mentors gave me the technical skills and confidence to stand out, helping me land my analyst role at PwC Corporate Finance.
Coming from a non-target, I sent hundreds of emails, did over a hundred coffee chats, and with WSO’s structure and mentorship I turned that grind into multiple Superdays and ultimately landed my restructuring IB offer in New York.
I was graduating without a return offer and struggling in interviews, but after joining WSO, I fixed my story, built consistency in networking, and within weeks I had five to seven coffee chats a week and final-round interviews that led to my offer
