WSO Testimonials

Great site. I wouldn't pay for it, but has some very solid information that all business students can use.

WSO is a great place to get insights from pros working in the financial services industry, no matter which area of finance you're in. I was looking at a lot of career paths with a data analytics background and I found WSO to be very helpful in navigating next steps.

WSO is an excellent resource for anyone trying to get into IB/PE/Consulting. It's an all-in solution with prep packages, comp guides, and forums!

Patrick and the entire team have been indispensable to my career growth through time and I've found myself revisiting time and time again for new insights from the community and forum. I've been going to WSO since I was a college student just learning about IB and the industry. It was one of the few places that matched incredibly smart people with the banter you'd find at Barstool. Some of the guys were absolute riots. It also helped bring about a real camaraderie amongst the various folks who were grinding during the difficult analyst years knowing that there were others trekking through with you and others still who have done it and flourished in the years that came after. The WSO technical guide was crucial to my securing SA offers during junior year, and I often find myself revisiting some of the old posts I used to check out when I was in college. I love the new financial modeling guide. Back in the day, Patrick had a partnership w/ WSP, which is excellent and many of the firms on the street use this as the training material for the incoming analysts. I was so happy to hear that Patrick was putting out a WSO centric financial modeling guide with actual professionals from the forum. There's no shortage of the opportunities for many of the students and young professionals to leverage the knowledge of some of the industry's best.

Goes without saying, but Patrick did an extraordinary pay forward and helped connect many awesome people around the industry, and really helped take the cover off the perception of breaking into IB into a science. I'm proud to be a WSO community member and hope to be one for years to come. Cheers!

Michael and I have had a couple sessions and his feedback has been instrumental to getting me on track

My mentor gave me so many tips on how to succeed in my job search, but what impressed me the most it is that Andrew went above and beyond by summarizing the things I have to change.

I am writing to acknowledge the mentorship and coaching from my mentor. He truly helps me in 2 aspects


He showed me how to prepare for the LBO model test & case study. As a result, I landed 2 offers with one from a F500 Corp Dev team and another Associate offer from a MM PE fund
He also mentored me on pros and cons working at Corp Dev. vs MM PE fund, so I can make the appropriate decision for my own career


He is a truly fantastic mentor and coach :)

An amazing course for beginners and those with an intermediate level of understanding of Excel. The course is easy to follow and the videos are enjoyable to watch. This course helped me from transitioning out of full time work in the military to my current role as an analyst!

WSO provides a great community for people starting out in various industries. I spend my time primarily in the real estate forum, but occasionally meander to something off topic. It's a good place to talk shop with people from different backgrounds.

Useful information and insights and also very engaged and mostly friendly user base.

Professional courses, professional services.

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!
