Based on the most helpful WSO content, while there’s no direct mention of AskStanleyAI in the knowledge base, here’s what you can consider for your recruiting prep alongside BIWS and the Rosenbaum & Pearl "Investment Banking" book (Redbook):

  1. WSO Guides: The WSO guides are highly recommended for both technical and behavioral prep. They cover a wide range of topics, including technical questions, networking strategies, and resume tips.

  2. 400 M&I Question Guide: This guide is frequently mentioned as a go-to resource for technical interview preparation. It’s a great complement to BIWS and the Redbook.

  3. Networking and Resume Tips: Articles and threads on WSO emphasize the importance of networking and crafting a strong resume. Look into WSO’s resume review services and networking guides to refine your approach.

  4. Mock Interviews: WSO offers mock interviews with professionals, which can be invaluable for practicing both technical and behavioral questions.

  5. Financial Modeling Resources: The WSO Free Modeling Series provides lessons on financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, and more. It’s a solid way to strengthen your technical skills.

If you’re exploring new tools like AskStanleyAI, it might be worth testing it out, but ensure it complements the tried-and-true resources like BIWS, the Redbook, and WSO guides.
