Amazing
Amazing, concise course that is helpful for anyone looking to break into IB/finance. WSO is an incredible resource for anyone looking to do banking/PE/HF/CorpDev etc. Would be lost without this site. Thanks Curtis!

WSO was extremely valuable to me when I was in college and looking for a job on the sell-side. It was a little less useful to me when I was looking for a public equities buyside role- as the WSO community primarily revolves around IB/PE.

The resources/guides also very helpful.

Review
I like the community. When I had a question back in high school about financial careers, the replies were very helpful. A few of the threads that I looked at helped me get a good impression of the field. I'm not as active anymore since my career focus is on technical skills at the moment.

I didn’t know much about the VC industry before taking this course. It is well designed and covers everything, from the history of VC and fund structures to term sheets and due diligence. As a bonus, it even has a recruiting for VC guide. Thanks, Patrick…
I didn’t know much about the VC industry before taking this course. It is well designed and covers everything, from the history of VC and fund structures to term sheets and due diligence. As a bonus, it even has a recruiting for VC guide. Thanks, Patrick and the WSO team for putting this together! :D

What impressed me the most was how WSO managed to find a mentor with a similar background and a plethora of innovative ideas.
Best Modeling Course Out There!
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!

Highly beneficial, focused on the right topics
Great job by Patrick and team! The course was highly beneficial, focused on the right topics and made it possible for me to become fast enough to crush all my timed modeling tests.

This course is fantastic
This course is fantastic. It cuts straight to the point and gives you practical hands-on training from the first module on. I was able to do the course over the weekend and apply my new skills in the office the next Monday. I would recommend this course to anyone interesting in developing a strong foundation in excel.

Excel Modeling
I wanted to mention that the Excel Modeling course I took with WSO is helping me tremendously in my consulting job. If there's one regret I have in my career, it's that I didn't start with WSO earlier on.

Probably one of the best resources to get vetted information on breaking into IB/PE and other associated questions about career. Could have been better if it some people from the target audience focused on non-IB careers as well. You will find the usual folks just dissing out random topics. But the sheer breadth and width of first-hand knowledge some users are ready to disseminate for free - is marvellous. I have not tried the mentoring, courses, funds, or any of the paid resources - but all these years, WSO has been a staple in my reading diet.
