Should I put my WSO rank on my resume?

I'm currently Orangutan rank and I'm really proud of the strides I've made here, sharing advice and insights from my two and a half years of college. 

I think this definitely sets me apart from other applicants as it shows I know how to work in a community and give back knowledge.

To be fair, would imagine if you have > 500 bananas beside your side it’ll be good to put the number in your CV, as it shows that you have contributed & people appreciated it.

Source: For context, I’ve put WSO on my CV with 20 bananas and was asked during interview at a BB why it wasn’t > 500 and the director interviewing me whipped out his phone showed me his account with > 10k bananas.

Hope this helps.

 

I'm like top 200 on banana points. That means I am literally one of the top 200 individuals in the entire fucking finance world on planet Goddamn Earth. You bet your ass I'm putting that on my resume. In fact, I don't even need to put my school (Harvard/Wharton/Princeton/UVA) or my GPA (4.01/4.0). I just put my wso rank. I thought about leaving off my finance internships too but decided to keep them so they know I'm actually IB and not some PWM pleb.
