WSO Testimonials

My mentor was extremely thorough and clearly knew what he was talking about. He made sure I was totally satisfied with our session and made sure to answer every question.

Stan is the best. Nothing but good words.

The product was elaborately designed to suit the needs of an individual working in finance and is in the business to build models and constantly works on forecasts.
The exercises were like any other course I had taken. They were making me think and truly focused to test the understanding of the individual.
Really learnt a lot from Excel shortcuts and model building perspectives.
It was indeed an enjoyable learning experience.

Deep dive on a number of very important financial topics; instructor (Stan) did a fantastic job explaining the material and providing real-life examples of how the skills are used

Before I joined consulting from an engineering background, WSO forum has supported me with invaluable advice and tips, both during the interview process and before starting.

Furthermore, their excel modelling course helped me in getting comfortable with the tools I ended up needing on the job and never used before!

Obviously, WSO is the #1 platform for people who are willing to break into banking (not to mention PE/HF/Consulting). Many users actually do contribute to the aggregation of refined and useful information and the extensive information base that is not readily available to the public makes WSO unique and resourceful. I believe Patrick has been doing a great job maintaining and upgrading the website.

I will also try to contribute more to the community as an insider (in banking).

Have been on WSO for several years and really think it helped for understanding all-things recruiting. It continues to be a great platform to share thoughts with others.

Had great pointers and was very helpful

The entire experience with WSO has been great. From the social media posts, the forums, and of course the market newsletter. It’s been a wonderful time here at WSO

The course products are relevant, concise, and easily digestible for all audiences!

They’ve earned a life long customer and I will continue to add onto my education collection as needed for advancement / personal curiosity.

Pat has truly created a paradise in an industry of chaos.

The real value isn’t just the questions it’s the explanations. When I got something wrong, I understood exactly why. This course is perfect to practice

Thank you for your advice. I feel much more confident about my updated resume now. Your assessment has been incredibly helpful; it gives me a clear direction for my interview stories. So I can start preparing for my interview now. I believe the mentor program at WSO will also be beneficial. When I encounter more specific questions during my interview preparation, I'd definitely like to reach out to you via WSO.

I've been a member of WSO since 2011 when I was a freshman in college determined to turn a passion for investing into a career on Wall Street (holy s**t, has it really been 10 years already?). I was a WSO rep for my university for a semester and have seen it develop through the years from just a finance forum to a comprehensive platform for financial education. WSO has been an essential resource every step of the way; from learning how to cold-call/email nearly every financial professional in LA as a freshman at a non-target looking for his first internship, to career advice for a PE associate looking to make a career change. I couldn't have made it to where I am now without the help & guidance of a few people who stuck their neck out for me and the WSO community that gave me the insight and knowledge I needed to prepare for every step along the way.

If you want to work in finance, there isn't any website more valuable in your career development than WSO. Seriously, if nothing else buy the interview guides, they're absolute gold and I owe more than 1 job offer to them.

Thank you Patrick Curtis for creating the community that educated and encouraged me every step of the way.
