An Honest Evaluation of the New WSO Intern

Before we get into this, I'm just going to preface this with a note to Patrick and Andy: don't bother banning me because I'll come right back lmao.

But let's dive right in. I see him on every comment board, I'm sure you have as well.

Consistency: I give him a stellar effort for dedication and commitment, he's on here more than me (which is sad), and really seems to enjoy what he does. Also, he is willing to put up with the grueling 10 hour weeks.

Ideas: I have more MS on all my 3 accounts than there is actual monkey shit in sub-SaharAfrica. The point is, my posts were effective and caught attention. His ideas are terrible and his comment trolling is horrendous, theres a thread about being short in finance and you can see what an awful job he did. And he's spam emailing me about being recorded for an Uber driver who answers questions like wtf lmao. Needs improvement here.

**Execution: ** He is so awful, but consistent. He never gets mad, and in an odd way, I've actually sometimes hinted at a laugh from his posts. Not bad.

Overall I think he's doing a decent job, but he needs to study some of my work a bit more. And if the intern happens to be reading this, good luck at Northwestern Mutual, slugger.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Oh and also, Patrick, if you guys want a way to make money for the site, sell the behavioral guide separate from the IB technical guide, that way you can capture the market segment not in IB that still wants interview help.
