Living my life on WSO

Especially during quarantine, there’s not much to do, so my notifications for posts in IB forum and certain threads are turned on.

I was wondering if this is common for the lurkers and baboons of WSO and whether in the actual banking world. what percentage of bankers live / visit this forum regularly and if this forum is credible to talk about to your colleagues, or if it’s more for prospects and interns to receive help like fishbowl?
