WSO Testimonials

Great public forum to share information about jobs, industries, and general career information

My mentor helped me understand how to best position myself as a non-target candidate, and connected me with the right resources and people to maximize my chances of success

I found the WSO course particularly helpful for interview prep, which I’ve always found to be one of the toughest parts of recruiting. It gave me a clear structure for technical concepts and how to actually approach different interview questions, rather than just memorising answers, because I understand how important it is to understand these concepts, which this course helped me a lot with. The practice and breakdown of questions made me feel a lot more confident.

Hi WSO Team,

I would like to thank you again for your help with my resume and cover letter.

The resume is very carefully and professionally revised - highlighting the points that are the most relevant to IB and presenting in the most "IB" lingos. This makes my resume very focused on the skill set for IB. I believe that my resume's competency has been increased from ~50 percentile to >85 percentile.

The cover letter is also completed at a high standard, though within very tight deadlines. It covers my background, shows my interest in investment banking, and why you would be a good fit, in a genuine and logical way. This also becomes a useful material for me to prepare interview questions. Thus, I am much more confident when applying for summer analyst internships.

In addition, the reviewer is very responsive and approachable - he always gives the reasoning on why he would recommend the changes and answers every question I have.

WSO was responsive, fair and provided a great customer service,

Best Modeling Course Out There!

I'm an Econ major student, so I've never been taught how to properly do a model, and WSO's modeling course not only prepped me for modeling but also taught me a lot of tips and tricks that have saved me so much time while building up models. Also, it helped me to ace all my technical interviews.

For those who thinking about getting this course, do it now! You won't regret!

Although I am just beginning, the course has allowed me to start at the basics and work my way up to more difficult aspects of PE, which allows me to understand and master important techniques that will help me in my recruiting process, and even into the work force!

Toxic forum with most of the people identifying as "prospects" i.e. people who haven't even broken into the industry yet

The WSO is very informative and helpful

It is worth the time and the money

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.

Great site with users replying quickly and being very helpful.
