Game-changing as an undergrad
As an undergraduate, I was able to gain a lot of value from my time on WSO. Your platform was able to give me insights into a world that I felt I otherwise had no entry into. This made it less intimidating to eventually take the necessary steps in-person to get my foot in the door of the working world.

Comparing it to similar sites though, such as TeamBlind, I would feel as though WSO could be made stronger if users verified their employers for added credibility to each post.

Reliable source of information
Quality of information is pretty high (and remarkably good considering its coming from anonymous internet sources), second only to personally knowing someone in the industry and asking them yourself.

In the end, its basically Reddit but specifically for the high finance industry - and then on top of that, it has courses, guides, and more.

Financial Statement Modeling Course Review - 2025-08-25
I like the that the course uses the 10k and some of the examples came in use for a HF model test I took. It goes very in depth.

Best tailored resume critique service in the industry
I purchased WSO's resume critique service ~3.5 years ago when I was preparing for the lateral move. The reviewer was very detailed oriented and provided thoughtful guidance to help me re-write my resume in a way that was appealing to the banking recruiters (evidenced by the before and after response rates). The feedback not only polished my resume on paper but also the stories I was telling in the interviews. I would highly recommend the services to the professionals especially the ones who are not in the banking currently and want to make a career move with a top-notch and banking-ready resume.

Amazing
Amazing, concise course that is helpful for anyone looking to break into IB/finance. WSO is an incredible resource for anyone looking to do banking/PE/HF/CorpDev etc. Would be lost without this site. Thanks Curtis!
