Annoying things people do on WSO
What are some annoying, pet-peevy things people do at this site?
I'll start:
exhibit 1: "just got a SD/offer" [cue bunch of anxious replies from people asking crazy *minute* details]
exhibit 2: "well group x at bank y provides with the best exits to PE firm z.... omg you're in Capital markets? You're f*cked for PE recruiting bro!!!!!!" -– Prospect in IB - Gen, replying to Analyst 3
- Asking on WSO for dating advice. While I understand some experience challenges while working in finance, I don't see that being a great topic for a finance/career forum.
- Posting under a throw-away name, like why? this is already fairly anonymous
When interns and prospects provide unsolicited rankings of investment banks. It's like the blind leading the blind.
you're vs your for native English speakers
their vs there seems to be an issue as well..... weren't these things learned in middle school?
When people use the anonymous feature to create a topic or add a comment.
My current status does not allow me to go anonymous.
Is the choice greyed out? I can post under Principal in Other. I have never used it, though.
Question: Can anyone weigh in on their experience lateralling to an EB from a BB, and the difficulty of doing it with specifics?
*Anon poster*
I went to a semi-target (lists 15 schools) with a decent gpa (think 3.3-4.0 range) with solid internship experience (think wealth management, or PE firm, or boutique IB, or big 4) and landed a good SA at a BB (think GS, MS, DB, UBS) before lateraling to an EB in a top city (think Boston, NYC, Detroit, Alabama, LA). Sorry for not giving specifics hehe, afraid for privacy reasons.
Ranking everything like finance is nothing but a penis measuring contest.....
"hey, who is longer? Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley? I've heard Credit Suisse is girthier after stealing the M&A team from BAML"
Serious, nobody cares in the real world. Just stop.

I know I'm in high school and I shouldn't complain, but some of the other kids are down right cringy. I have been lurking for around 8 months and I have learned a lot. Some of the other kids should use the search bar before they ask questions.
