WSO Testimonials

WSO is very informative in exactly has the stats I was looking for. I wanted to see what the exit opportunities are for finance students of different business schools, especially into IBs. Thank you WSO!!

Paul was fantastic, he really helped me prepare on what I should know if I want to transition into PE. I plan on booking another call with Paul in the near future given everything I learned from him.

Good insights into the finance industry that aren’t easily available otherwise.

Overall, fantastic course and Cole is a great instructor. Pros include:
- Overview of PE and PE process
- Recruitment process overview
- Various types of models covered, each with their own nuances
- Ability to ask questions in a discreet but open forum
- Tips/tricks and experiences shared by the instructor that are invaluable

WSO compiles lots of helpful information in an easy to access place. It’s nice that it’s by users, for users. Only thing I’d suggest is making salary information more accessible—I had to jump through hoops just to view the estimated salary for one position. The interview prep materials, exit opportunity discussions, and dozens of other forums, are incredibly helpful.

WSO is a fantastic community that offers a bit of everything from inspiring career stories, tips and tricks, and much needed satire and humor that are often rooted in a shared reality for young finance professionals and students alike. Beyond that, the courses I bought helped me gain an advantage over others who were interviewing for the same competitive job.

This course was exactly what I was looking for. An excellent refresher or intro for those looking to prep for VC interviews or get a better understanding of how a VC firm works. The instructions are clear, the examples and templates are excellent.

This course helped me understand the complexities of bankruptcy from start to finish. University taught me about valuation and some modeling, but restructuring required an in-depth course and this was perfect!

WSO was an invaluable tool in my job search. Without the other monkeys, it would have been nearly impossible for me to stay up to date on the goings on in banking and knowledgable of interview tips. As a first generation student, I had a lot of difficulties networking and receiving help the traditional way which is why I'm so grateful WSO was there for me.

The resume review was amazing. I was paired up with a very knowledgeable recruiter from an investing firm that was able to make the resume using their industry knowledge. I filled out an emailed questionnaire and had a rough draft of the resume in a few days. Then we emailed back and forth a few times to make changes. I’m very pleased with the final product. My old resume that I made using my school suggested template didn’t lead to any interviews, but when I used the new WSO provided resume I started getting several interviews and landed my first investing job. The service is well worth the investment, with a couple hundred dollars leading to a six figure income. I couldn’t recommend the service any more.

The LBO modeling review was very effective and helpful - there are an abundance of videos to watch and take you through each step of designing an LBO. Think the one of the most beneficial pieces are the handful of case studies provided to practice after the course

Thank you very much for putting me in touch with him, it was a helpful session. I will stay in touch and communicate about organizing another meet with him again.
