WSO Testimonials

Unique and very active community with people from different backgrounds, chatting about finance and non-finance related topics. Probably spent way too much on it but certainly supported me to get a job at a bulge bracket investment bank. Can only recommend.

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.

Used Wall Street Oasis resume review service for IB application. 60% of my applications went to 2nd round. Did a great job helping me polish my resume.

I have found WSO to be an extremely useful crowd-sourced website for reading about financial careers and discussing new ideas.

The site has helped me during my applications to finance jobs and provided first hand experience from those in my shoes, and more experienced professionals on how to thrive in this space.

In addition, there are many highly entertaining (sometimes satirical) posts which help to lighten the mood.

10/10 would recommend.

Awesome course

Tim was great very caring and just looking out for my best interest.

This website has been invaluable as a first generation college student. The information on the industry contained here helped me break into finance, and now I have a full time offer in private equity after graduation.

However, it can get very elitist here which gets annoying sometimes.

Not worth the cost

This is feedback for my experience 2 years ago. Overall, very impressive course and very helpful sample models. 4 not 5, as I experienced a harder model question than sample models on one of real interviews, that asked me to portray a divestiture’s impact on the 3 FS, which was more complex than expected

I find WSO site useful, with plenty of insightful information.Positive things are large community base, coverage of various aspects of finance world and user-friendly site interface. Also the banana / MS system is useful and fun.

As for the website / interface itself, I think the search option should be fixed. It's really hard to search for past topics (i usually google topic + WSO, if wanted to find something).

Additional suggestion would be on maybe publishing some sort of articles written by members (ideally ones on middle or senior positions) on various topics. (In fact they often appear as threads like "day on the job", "things i wish i knew" etc, but the suggestion is in terms of motivating members on more such threads).

very valuable website for entry-level careers in finance and investments

A hedge fund owner looking to do community service helped me reconstruct my resume, and provided me with conscientious and actionable career advice, at a fee structure corresponding to 3% of what his time is normally worth, i.e. essentially as a volunteer; I suspect he was grateful for some recent good fortune and wanted to pay it forward, which he did. Very useful for my trajectory and much appreciated.
