WSO Testimonials

Great site with a ton of resources for junior people breaking into the industry.

The mentor was extremely helpful in that he offered very practical advice and had a very relevant experience. Helpful resume review as well.

I’ve tried a few SIE prep sites, this one’s the best for practice. Great mix of questions and clear feedback.

Overall, fantastic course and Cole is a great instructor. Pros include:
- Overview of PE and PE process
- Recruitment process overview
- Various types of models covered, each with their own nuances
- Ability to ask questions in a discreet but open forum
- Tips/tricks and experiences shared by the instructor that are invaluable

A welcomed breath of honestly (and humor) when compared with the endless desert of people who either have never done IB or who have been out too long to be relevant. It's a welcome (enough) environment that prepares you for real day to day.

Thought that this platform was a great place to learn more about the buy- and sell-side. In particular, I have enjoyed how WSO has become a repository of questions that are ubiquitous in the space and serves as a library of Q&A and discussion. Would love to see the platform continue to grow.

One of a kind hub/home base to young and mid career finance professionals and such. 1) Interview guides very full 300 pg on average, helps with useful wording to young kids who have no clue how to verbalize most of something they don’t even understand to be doing 2) Networking - scared to cold LinkedIn network? How about for $75 you can buy 30 min with MD or Associate at GS,JP,BAofA, Blackstone etc. and establish a friendship and a solid network into the future (and select out of a few thousand of these mentors/ networks) this in itself is what makes WSO out of the ball park amazing 3) modeling courses I found them well put together and to the point; now I give a lot of respect to BIWS, Wallstreetprep and others who specialize in these courses and use all of these while at work. 4) office hours with f*#^ng Patric blood and bones on YouTube (not more than 30 people visiting these sessions) and also Podcast Interviewing real people about their careers whom again you can for the most part ask to connect with and establish a network. Repeating myself, Networking is the toughest part of the business and the fact that WSO’s community history is tight with current professionals out there is what makes it stand out.

Breaking into VC was challenging but this was incredibly helpful in providing the fundamentals I needed to evaluate a startup at any stage, understand cap table, industry terminologies, and even recruiting for my current role.

Awesome course

I’ve had multiple sessions with Zack so far, on different activities within the Academy and each time I’ve left with great insights.

Was a simple easy to follow course. Similar to other financial course programs but slightly better

I’m thrilled to share the exciting news that I have received a full-time offer from Blackstone Real Estate. I want to express my deepest gratitude to the academy for the invaluable resources, support, and guidance provided throughout my journey. This accomplishment wouldn't have been possible without the foundation and insights I gained here.
Thank you once again for everything!
