WSO Testimonials

I am very happy with my new resume. I was hesitant to try this service because I thought it would be a waste of money, but the reviews on WSO were so good that I decided to give it a shot. The service was quick and well worth the price. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a new resume or CV.

I've had a great time on the website, both for more light-hearted style posts and for more serious ones as well. I appreciate the OFF section of the website, allowing for more water-cooler style conversations to be in a different spot from the rest of the forums. Most especially useful are regular discussions of how to succeed as a finance professional, and on compensation and bonuses. These help me to get a good idea of how I should perform, and how I should expect to be rewarded.

Brilliantly curated course building your foundational understanding and taking it to an advances level as well, would recommend to anyone seeking to understand nuances around VC investing.

Shimeng was great to talk to about working in Investment Banking / Hedge Fund Management. She gave me 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 we 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. We found Shimeng an ideal Mentor, very professional and engaging her expertise was so appreciated with providing almost a blue print and insights into the world of Investment Banking/ Hedge Fund Management.

Thank you for pairing me with Shimeng as a mentor

Conor is always very approachable and efficient. Thanks for helping me check the LinkedIn profile.

Great resource for new as well as seasoned professionals looking for information as to Wall Street jobs.

The insight provided by members has been very informative and you can tell that members what to help others achieve their goals.

Exceptional team that paired me with an industry professional who helped revamp my entire resume. It was tailored to IB and helped me land interviews.

Great content!

As an undergraduate, I was able to gain a lot of value from my time on WSO. Your platform was able to give me insights into a world that I felt I otherwise had no entry into. This made it less intimidating to eventually take the necessary steps in-person to get my foot in the door of the working world.

Comparing it to similar sites though, such as TeamBlind, I would feel as though WSO could be made stronger if users verified their employers for added credibility to each post.

Good Bases

I would've liked it if the model went into more depth regarding cap table and waterfall modelling. Nonetheless, the course, overall, is very good and explains, with a fair amount of detail, how the industry operates.

Great product. We got a real estate engagement at our boutique IB shop. I didn’t know anything about the subject so I bought this course to be in the know. Really good. Would recommend it!

WSO is a great site for any one pursuing a finance degree. I find the comments to be generally accurate (although the BO hate is overdone). The resource available for learning to model, thinking through career options and mentoring are great. I counsel all grads I mentor to check it out
