WSO Testimonials

Great resume review

As a non-traditional student at a non-target school, WSO gave me the resources to perfect my networking abilities and prepare for interviews at literally any financial firm. I continue to use those timeless interview skills to this day, after 10 years in my career, and I now pass them along to up-and-comers. Also, WSO provided much-needed comic relief during those stressful times!

Informative and entertaining

Covered all the bases of the most important parts of PE interviews; paper LBO and case study walkthroughs were very helpful in particular

Responsiveness of the mentor, flexibility and conversational adaptability (didn’t feel like a scripted/automated exchange at all). Accounted for nuances specific to my situation and provided valuable feedback:)

Pricey, but overall great service and in my opinion would have done it again. The person that worked with me to write my resume was top notch and had an impressive background from IB to private equity was able to leverage that experience to write a solid resume for me. We hopped on two/three calls. The first call we just walked through every job function I had and I described to him what my day to day ways and a few key projects I was involved in from internship/jobs/ and activities was able to use all the key jargon and formating that IB firms are looking for. I come from a commercial / credit banking background so I have always had a hard time in putting my experience in terms of IB related roles.
I will say tho I would write down every thing that you have done small or large in experiences in order to have a larger list to pull from and although your resume mentor you are paired with to decided, which would likely be better to throw on the ole resume.
For background, I have written 100 different versions of my resume and have always thought I had a solid written resume, but he definitely was able to make my resume stand part.
You may have to wait for replies, but have to understand these folks are still working 70+ hours a week and this is side hustle for them, so definitely don't expect a two turnaround time.

Good content

Useful place for finance professionals, or aspiring ones. Lots of room for finance discussion and interview questions. WSO is the primary place for finance professionals to discuss a wide range of related topics, and to learn more.

WSO is hands down the best online resource available to aspiring candidates or current members engaged in finance/consulting/professional services. The amount of helpful information, direct and honest feedback and other tips and tricks being offered is overwhelming. It's truly an essential tool in the recruitment process and beyond.
