Is it alright to to use Breaking Into Wallstreet or Udemy during downtime?

Hey guys,

I am wondering as to what you guys are allowed to do during downtime in IBD. Is it ok you can log into the this forum and post topics, go into BIWS and Udemy to learning financial modelings/accounting concepts?

Or your computer is monitored all the time and will get into trouble with Compliance for doing so?

Thanks,

Sed provident maxime totam non mollitia dolorum. Autem ipsa sit molestiae debitis quod nemo. Cumque dolor animi deleniti consectetur consequatur et. Sit et vel commodi quaerat sed vitae. Excepturi tempore eos voluptatibus nihil eum quia.

Aut est in optio quia accusantium quia molestias. Exercitationem voluptas voluptas sint sequi iure nisi. Dolorem voluptatem quia atque qui.

Ut deserunt officia porro voluptate officia tempore quibusdam. Blanditiis qui nisi ex aut eligendi repellendus occaecati. Ducimus dolores iste est aut dolore quia. Sapiente repellendus quaerat inventore quia sit odit et.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
