PE Guide: Peak Frameworks vs WSO?
Looking to start prepping for Private Equity recruiting. Ideally I'd like something that covers both modeling but also prep for interview questions.
Which should I choose? What are the pros and cons of either?

I like the peak frameworks guy. He always looks very happy
bump
I used Peak Frameworks and landed a role in PE so im happy with it. Especially loved the examples he gave and the template LBOs because they were easy to follow and copy the structure for my modeling test.
Peakkkkkk
any peak frameworks coupons?

Also use Peak Frameworks and landed a gig. Matt is the guy
Matts a real g - landed 2 roles in PE with the guides now (one post grad role, one on-cycle).
He knows what he’s talking about and the real case examples are great
Do you recommend starting his models w/ or without template? I am not sure if I am cheating myself by starting with template.
hey man can i dm you
Vouching for Peak Frameworks also - Matt is the GOAT, helped me prep for PE also
PF is clearly the better product. However, back in my day, there was no PF and I used WSO and it was good enough. But these days you should use PF. WSO’s focus does not seem to be their educational product, which probably makes sense.
