WSO Testimonials

I already had higher expectations and I maybe got the service too late for applications. So I was a bit disappointed that I had to wait 2 days (on the website it sounded like it should take 24hrs) before the person in charge of reviewing my resume got back to me. Otherwise it was a good experience and well worth it.

He provided me with probably the most helpful mock interview and advice for PE recruiting. Not only was the conversation enjoyable, but also quite challenging. He brought up some must-know topics for interviews that I've never seen in my previous prep programs or guides. I felt much more confident after speaking with him on items like how to structure my deal walkthrough, the equity vs debt investor viewpoints, and how to analyze a quick case. He was very generous with his time, as we went nearly 30 minutes over the hour mark! We spent some time talking generally about interview tips and career trajectory at the end, which was helpful color and once again provided me with much-needed clarity. It was an invaluable discussion and one that I would very highly recommend!

I had a great and seamless experience with my reviewer. Our first contact established a credible background and provided a good base for our relationship and future conversations. When speaking on the phone and over email, I could tell he was interested in helping me and cared about guiding me to a place where I was comfortable and confident. Not only was he very knowledgeable when reviewing my resume, but he also took every opportunity to share his knowledge about the professional world and help me learn. He always took the time to ask questions and gather information in order to understand my experiences, skillset, and interests. It was great to work with him.

The only forum to get first hand insight on the finance industry on the whole. I've learned a ton from all those threads regarding IB, PE, and many other topics.

WSO has been the go-to forum and platform for finance professionals and the like. The threads and forums have been engaging, informative, and entertaining for the most part. WSO has also provided many important sources for interview preps, company database information, networking and interview opportunities. Looking to contribute further to the large WSO community that has grown exponentially throughout the years.

Mentor understood my situation and was able to give tailored feedback and guidance towards next steps and put the big picture in perspective. Asked for updates on my progress which shows he is interested in seeing my results.

Excellent, thorough course that prepared me well for my first year in management consulting.

My experience with Wall Street oasis have been great as it was a great opportunity to learn about the finance industry.
One this i really appreciate was the people i was working with as they were really helpful at every stage of my learning and also the intern call with CEO himself.

It was very efficient at catering to both beginning and advanced learners of financial modeling. As someone who has a decent understanding of the basics of financial modeling, I found the beginning parts rudimentary, but I really appreciated the in-depth analysis in later modules, such as learning about the revolver, a topic I never truly understood. Additionally, the bonus section and extra practice were very helpful as a learner.

No BS, no fluff, serious advice from Wall Street professionals.

Mentor was very forthcoming and helpful, explaining her career choices and making suggestions

PE course was generally pretty good.

Strengths:
-Deal walk throughs were spot on and a perfect way to walk through the deal; Could be improved by talking about what kinds of followup questions you'll get from interviewers and how to think more deeply about whether an investment is a strong one
-Paper and Basic LBOs were really helpful to understand and get down the mechanics for an LBO. More practice LBOs would be very helpful

Areas to Improve
-Need to update answer keys more quickly; Don't think the answer key for Full LBO #1 was ever available for the year that I used the course. Almost unacceptable given any PE associate could make a video answer key for it in a few hours
-Spend more time talking about how to prioritize interviewing at funds, very under appreciated part of the process assuming you're prepared
-Spend more time talking about how to prepare for head hunter screens. Seen many strong colleagues mess these up
