Best modeling package

Thinking about doing the WSO elite modeling package. Wondering if there is a superior course out there AND if it’s something an investment bank would even care you completed.

I’m sure there will be a lot of stuff that will trigger the Resume scanners.

Coming from a liberal arts college I second this, definitely prepared me adequately 

 

Yep. I recommend you go through WSO or WSP's LBO courses first. They have comprehensive models too, and easier ones, like a paper LBO. 

Fwiw, it's one Goolge away from your answer.

Persistency is Key
 

Have seen WSO, WSP, BIWS, TTS courses. Would rec TTS - found them the best at explaining concepts + organizing content well. BIWS is way too bloated w/ unnecessary complexities, thought WSP did a poor job on certain functions / formulas (I specifically used their LBO course, so YMMV). TTS is also one of the main programs used for SA / FT training so their content should be pretty relevant

 

I've used BIWS and WSP and agree biws has far too many complexities and takes way too long sometimes (long video hours and complexities is not always a good thing; looking at you CFI w/ ur 200 hr vid material lol), WSP gives more digestable and easier to understand teaching but some things can be improved as you said 

try looking into Financial Edge, i think they give you self study courses and thats what we use at our training at a bb
