Can WSO introduce polls?

I’ve been a long time user of WSO and have gained incredible insights from so many posts. I’m currently an associate in a co-investment group and I previously worked in banking followed by direct PE.

As I was reading through some posts, a thought came to mind: wouldn’t it be super valuable if there were specific posts geared towards poll questions? For example, I was reading through a thread focused on the classic “is the grass really greener in PE vs. IB?” Wouldn’t it be super valuable to instead of sifting through tons of anecdotes and posts on the topic be able to post a poll and glean quick insights from users? Instead of reading an anecdote or two, how cool would it be to see that, for example, [65%] of PE associates are working more hours in PE than they did in IB. Or [x%] of first year associates in PE in NY earn between y and z? Obviously you’d want to ensure that only the right folks are filling out the poll, but these sort of insights would be super powerful and they can be presented almost instantaneously. Throw AI into the mix and you can even have the platform form insights based on its users’ information.

Anyways, was just thinking this through but would be curious if others would find this valuable!
