Have you ever been outed from a post on WSO?

Relatively speaking, the world of high finance is small. Have you ever recounted a story on here that bit you in the ass later, i.e. someone figuring out who you were because you were talking shit, or at worst an offer being rescinded?

 

Got called out for a story about someone and redacted it. Didn't think that would matter because I rarely used my account. Now look at me.

Not that level - have avoided anecdotes from my current office and most of my prior internships. Referenced someone in my school based on a habit of theirs and I heard through my friend that he saw it. Wasn't derogatory, but was brought up to me like it was.

Highly doubt that is why... but it is good to be cognizant of posts and threads on WSO... every bank HR and most bankers are aware of WSO and have accounts on here just to see what is said/shared.
