WSO Testimonials

Great resource for newcomers to finance or those looking to break into industry; definitely gave me a lot of information regarding interview prep. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get their foot in the door of a big wall street firm, or even just those who want to learn more about the finance industry.

I got a lot of relevant information about the best course of action for my career

This course gave me a clear framework for analyzing both GP-led and LP-led deals, and the real case studies made it stick. I feel way more confident walking into deal discussions now.

Look back at it as my best investment. Worked in the best firms with likes of Mondelez and Coca Cola

I have found WSO to be an extremely useful crowd-sourced website for reading about financial careers and discussing new ideas.

The site has helped me during my applications to finance jobs and provided first hand experience from those in my shoes, and more experienced professionals on how to thrive in this space.

In addition, there are many highly entertaining (sometimes satirical) posts which help to lighten the mood.

10/10 would recommend.

An amazing course for beginners and those with an intermediate level of understanding of Excel. The course is easy to follow and the videos are enjoyable to watch. This course helped me from transitioning out of full time work in the military to my current role as an analyst!

I hit a roadblock in my PE recruiting journey and needed professional advice from someone who has been in the industry and knew what answers to look for. That was when I came across WSO's mentorship program where I was able to find a mentor that would be best suited for me based on their background and experience. I was also able to pay by the session, meaning no formal commitment, and the mentor was incredibly adept, helpful, and flexible with timing. I also really appreciated WSO's proactiveness in following up in case I did not hear from my mentor. I am so grateful for my mentor's professional advice and I can't thank WSO enough for having this mentorship program in place!

WSO was extremely valuable to me when I was in college and looking for a job on the sell-side. It was a little less useful to me when I was looking for a public equities buyside role- as the WSO community primarily revolves around IB/PE.

The resources/guides also very helpful.

The content is incredible! Very objective and well paced. As a Brazilian there is no other course here that matches WSO’s quality!

Can’t wait to finish all my courses!

It's the best bang for your buck. Compared to other equally popular courses on the street, this one is really good and up to date with Excel versions.

Good service, unfortunately the app has some bugs that need to be worked out.

Shimeng was great to talk to about working in Investment Banking / Hedge Fund Management. She gave insights into course selection, grade requirements and areas to develop to stand out as a recruit.

The information and guidance gave me invaluable tips on where I need to focus and has fast tracked my path on course selection for university and trajectory required for the goal of Hedge Fund Management.

Shimeng was flexible with timing considering we are on the other side of the world. I found Shimeng an ideal Mentor, very professional and engaging, her expertise was so appreciated with providing almost a blue print for me and insights into the world of Investment Banking/ Hedge Fund Management.

Thank you for pairing Shimeng with my son.
