I love WSO

Title sums it up. I joined WSO in 2019 as a student looking to secure an IB role in London. I don't live in the UK and I secured an offer as incoming SA at a BB (MS/BofA/JPM) with sponsorship. So many things shared on WSO really helped me from my CV to applications and finally my interviews. Lately, I have been feeling anxious about starting the summer internship and I totally want to perform my best and hopefully receive a full time offer. I noted some wise tips and advice on here and it has helped with mentally preparing me and reduced my anxiety. I am such a fanboy of WSO lol 

p.s please share any tips you believe can help me standout. Thanksss

ye WSO is a pretty great resource sometimes. There's a lot of shit we could do without though. Grats on the SA.

 

I'm waiting for the day I open WSO and see a post titled "WSO is Paradise." I would make one, but my writing skills are not as exemplary as others on this platform who could do this topic more justice.
