“I recently had a LinkedIn audit call with Arnau as part of my WSO Academy program, and it was one of the most practical and useful sessions I've had so far. I came in thinking my profile was in decent shape. I left with a clear picture of how recruiters and bankers actually see it, and a concrete list of changes that will make it work much harder for me.
Some background: I'm moving from corporate finance into investment banking, corporate banking, and private equity. I have an MBA in Corporate Finance, a PMP, and several years of finance and project management experience. Making that kind of move depends heavily on how you present your story, and LinkedIn is often the first place a recruiter or analyst sees it. That's why this session mattered so much to me.
From the first few minutes, Arnau was well prepared, direct, and focused on what actually moves the needle. He didn't just give generic tips like "add a professional photo." He went through my profile section by section and explained why each piece matters to someone in finance who's quickly scanning candidates. His feedback was honest without being discouraging, which I really appreciated. He pointed out where my profile was underselling my experience and where it wasn't clearly showing that I'm aiming for banking and PE.
What stood out most was how he helped me think about positioning. My background covers corporate finance, project management, hospitality, and real estate, and it can be hard to make that read as one clear story. Arnau helped me connect those experiences to the skills banks look for: financial analysis, modeling, managing budgets and capital, and working with senior stakeholders. He showed me how small changes to my headline, About section, and experience bullets can make that story obvious within seconds.
The session was also very actionable. I didn't leave with vague ideas. I left with a short list of specific edits I can make right away. That matters a lot when you're job hunting and every week counts. He also shared advice on using LinkedIn more actively, such as engaging with the right people and content, so the profile supports my networking instead of just sitting there.
I also want to recognize the overall WSO Academy experience. Between the modeling bootcamp, the company research work, the mentorship, and sessions like this one, the program has given me structure and support during a career transition that can otherwise feel isolating. This call was a good example of what makes WSO different: the people coaching you understand the industry you're trying to break into and give feedback that reflects how hiring really works.
If you're a WSO member and haven't booked a LinkedIn audit yet, I'd strongly recommend it. It's a short time commitment, and the return is significant. Your LinkedIn profile is often your first impression, and having an experienced set of eyes on it is worth it.
Thank you, Arnau, for your time, honesty, and practical guidance. I'm excited to put the changes in place and keep building toward my goal of breaking into investment banking.”
The only explosion of greatness that is happening took place in the green room between Tepper and Stephanie Ruhle.
Yep. Tepper's game was on point and Ruhle was loving it
great post!
Anyone else find Stephanie Ruhle kinda sexy?
Edit: 100%.
When he starts talking about CMBS, did Tepper say they have one of the biggest CMBS books on the street "right meow" ...?
If the US markets end 2013 higher than they started it, I'll eat my hat. Lots of people out there that predicted some big crashes very succcessfully are saying the same thing again. US will dip with the upcoming cuts, the cashflow shortage will reveal China to be the great ponzi in the sky it is, and the demand bubble that china is sustaining for huge numbers of manufacturers in the US/EU will fall off a cliff.
Damn, she saw that $100MM receipt in the Hamptons, and now she wants the D.
"you know why you won't work at Mcdonald's? It's because you're fan-cy." Cracked me up. Good find Eddie.
Hilarious.
He is the perfect foil of zerohedge
Twice as optimistic, 100x as charming
Did Rhule just tell him he could take off his clothes? I new she was dirty!
I'd lose so much respect for this man if he didn't get it in after this filming. She was so wet she was practically sliding out of her seat the whole interview.
+9000
Tepper better have hit that.
This man is an absolute bro
Tepper just got rocked in the last 8 hours by Ford, Apple, and in the morning... Nasdaq
Tepper is such a bro. The sexual tension was palpable. Hope he took he took care of business.
I'm not sure what I just watched. This looked like an extended intro for medium-core porn.
Good Lord, if I couldn't see her hands I would have thought she was getting herself off under the table. Geez.
Anyways, she seems more 'horny' and 'dirty' than 'fancy'.
Regards
Cut that sexual tension with a knife, jesus.. she is a smoke though, so can't hate on her at all.
