Top 5 Reasons the WSO Conference will Save Your Life

Ok, it may not save your life literally like this guy...BUT it could be the key step to meeting that one critical contact, getting that one extra piece of advice that makes the difference in your job search..... or at the very least it could just be a damn good time in NYC for the weekend.

Without further ado, here are the top 5 Reasons why you should get your tickets today (besides the fact that it is just around the corner and we are running out of discounted tix):

  1. Network, Network, Network: Meet fellow monkeys and build a network in the finance community
  2. Listen to UBS MD Josh Rosenbaum speak; he is the author of the most popular valuation book on Wall Street: Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions
  3. Meet Patrick and the WSO Team in person and learn more about the past, present and future of WSO
  4. Discounts: Get 3 months free access to our job board ($40 value), 50% off your first mock interivew from Wall Street Mentors ($84 value), and a free WSO T-shirt ($4,000 value).
  5. Meet WSO Superusers such as Compbanker, Monty09 and ANT who will be there to give you detailed advice on finance, energy, msf programs and MUCH more.
  6. More announcements to come soon - if you haven't signed up yet, get in now as space is limited and discounted tickets will sell out soon.

Dont want to be a prick, but us certified users (buysiders anyway) get hundreds of conference invitations per year to see Kravis, Marks, Schwartzman, Einhorn, Paulson etc speak and we dont pay a penny to attend - very hard to be motivated to pay to come and 'be networked' by lots of college students. Having said that I'm sure this will be an excellent and hugely valuable event for those looking to break into wall street.

This is almost certainly the wrong 'forum' for me to make this point and I am more than happy for a mod to remove it, but I definitely think you'll get a few more certified users along if its free for us (we also enjoy free beer, free steak and free strippers).

Hey Samoanboy, You're not being a prick - totally valid point....although I would argue that there will be more than just college kids there. I think it's always good to know guys in related fields like IB and HFs.

We can't give tickets away to all Certified Users because we have limited capacity. What we have done for some Certifieds that are willing to sit on a panel is comp their tickets. If you are interested sitting on a panel (or any other Certified Users), please e-mail your resume (and maybe the type of panel you think you'd be best for - PE related, IB related, career related, advanced degree related, etc) to WallStreetOasis.com>[email protected] so I can see if there are any good fits with our remaining spots.

Thanks, Patrick
