New Member - How to access compensation data on WSO

I am a freshman finance major in college and a new member to WSO. (I've been reading the site for a while now.)

When I go to the WSO Company Database and click on the compensation info tab for any given bank, it requires a contribution of salary information, firm information, or interview information. Having not gone through any of this yet, is there any way to access this restricted part of the site?

^not very helpful for specific companies though. I know what OP means as I also have minimal insight to contribute. It's stopped me from looking stuff up a couple times. If I recall theres also a warning saying you get banned or sumtin if you just put shit up for the hell of it to get your search. Completely agree with that though, last thing you need is false info flying around there ruining its integrity

professionalmonkeyAdd a company to the database. Anybody can do that.

Example: Falfurrias Capital is a PE firm in Charlotte but is not on the database. Look them up and add them.

This. I run the database. Viewing is for contributors only, so find a firm we dont have and add it. Message me if you need help.
