A HUGE thank you to the WSO community!!!

Hey guys, i just wanted to come on here and say thank you to everyone who had helped me out along the way to landing a BB SA S&T offer for this summer. (especially derivstrader, monty09, and of course Patrick!). I come from a non-target, so it was quite the hustle, ended up getting 2 superdays, and got the offer from my top choice!

Recruiting season was definitely extremely stressful, so it is awesome that we have this great community at WSO where we can vent/talk/learn from others in the same position as ourselves. I can honestly say that without WSO, i don't think i would have been as prepared as i was for the interviews. Patrick's guides are fantastic and helped me so much in preparing for those interviews, and as everyone elses advice/experience/knowledge really helped put me over the top.

Finally--for all those nontargets out there, keep working, keep hustling, keep networking. IT CAN BE DONE!!

 

Thank you Patrick. We love you more everyday.

EDIT: Congrats :) almost forgot to put that in! (actually forgot but whatever)

It's what you put into it

congrats man. Were you are Energy Rodeo?

Hilarious! I just was trying to make a correlation between him getting a gig and Monty helping him. Also, if he was there, I was going to find out if I met him there. It was a stretch, I know.
