Managing Directors, VPs, and associates
Do they normally read this site? or is it mostly analysts/college students?

i made this up
WSO demographics 70% college students 15% random masters/phd/MBA/other careers 8% analyst level 6% associate level 0.5% VP/MPs
Actually, I think these numbers are pretty close. Although, the big posters definitely have more work experience so its more skewed to the analyst/associate level.
As for VP/MDs, there might be one or two. but not many and this is because of a few reason, but biggest of which is that the site was only started 4 years ago which means that the VPs already had a job and didn't come here. You'll notice that we have finally hit a critical mass where we have a lot of posters joining analyst classes which willl increase the certified user ranks a great deal. The other reason is that by the time you make VP/MD you already have a career and most likely are not thinking about switching it--and your not about to take advice from a form filled with analysts and college kids.

Whoa cocksucker. I am not going to ban you for giving me shit, but I sure as fuck will ban you for one more bullshit post.
I am about sick of you.
few successful peeps in the industry will stop by this site to offer good advice (i guess its just general human philanthropy nature, not many people like to help anonymously to strangers). naturally, those in the industry will go to other sites that keep them occupied in other ways (either porn sites/ft.com/fantasy football).
so i agree with the above stats that a small minority of the people here are actually successful in the industry, with the exception of few.
but....... you can still learn a lot even from the 10% of the people who are in the industry, people that do help seem to offer good advice to those in school so keep reading.......
I drop in evey once in a while, since FT doesn't really capture my attention and fantasy football has never held as much interest for me as even, say, Madden. Now that my kids monopolize my TVs, that only leaves porn sites and WSO if you believe the description above. Which means I may be on WSO every six months or so. Just saying.
Additionally, I have worked for a number of years and I am completely transparent about what I am currently doing and who I am. You are a snide little prick and I would be pretty wary of flaunting your CS sponsors offer. The group is not that large and you could quickly see yourself with a rescinded offer if you do not knock this shit off.
Of the rules of WSO, in the Top 5, is, "Do not fuck with Anthony"
I don't know if you are joking, but I want to clarify that anyone can fuck with me and many have. I have a handful of pretty angry messages from people. I am not something special on here, just someone who posts a lot. My views, opinions and beliefs are not superior in anyway.
That sort of quote is going to drive me back to porn sites.
rule 6 dont forget rule 5
I wouldn't say that there are no VP to MDs that go through this site; but I'll bet we don't post much. It is often funny to read people's view of the street, recruiting and how firms are competitive. There is a lot of drivel but I do check in during recruiting season to see what is being said about my firm and my competitors and to see if there are any dumb-@sses that are recognizable from their resume or interviews.
