I missed the exact date it happened (now at 306k) but wow this site has grown quickly over the last two years!

100k reached on 10/9/12: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/wso-hits-100000-members

200k reached on 12/11/13: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/wall-street-oasis-hits-200000-membe…

When will we hit 400k?

Having >300K registered users chasing 1K analyst positions is not hard to believe when you consider the overall number of kids applying to positions located in the US/UK and HK. Many of the applicants are bound to stumble onto this site.

I would say there is much more than 1,000 analyst positions if you are looking at regional boutiques around the world. Also, we are much more than just investment banking community now. We have a strong community of PE, HF Corp Fin, Mngmt Consulting and Trading professionals, just to name a few :-) ...plus, we've been around for almost 9 years now, so each year there is a new group trying to break in.

Congrats guys. I'm sure there is some large degree of attrition but overall the site has a lot of regular users that continue to progress in their career. While originally most of the site was focused on IB analyst roles there has been tremendous growth in PE / Consulting / Business School, etc. So keep plugging away!
