Informational Interview
As a STEM background, quant-focused guy, Chris was the person I needed to learn from. Would be helpful to have a few more people with similar backgrounds as him

I'll be always grateful for mentor help
Harshit was very considerate and helped me in framing my resume very well. He also helped me connect with one of his friends at Avendus(an Investment Bank in India). I'll be always grateful for his help

Basics of modeling
Straightforward introduction into the basics of modeling an income property, applied experience from our instructor made the lesson objectives tangible.
Good job
Helped me understand a world years ago that didn't get much spotlight until recently with all these finfluencers.

Was able to connect with people from that world so I could make my own decisions.

It is a great course
It is a great course. I have been studying over the last months all the courses, including DCF modeling, M&A modeling and others.

The theory explanation is straight to the point and clear. I could understand all the concepts to build a complex financial modeling.

Currently I'm working at a M&A company in Brazil, and what I've learnt in this course is very useful for my daily tasks.

I do recommend this course.

I was incredibly pleased with our conversation
I was incredibly pleased with our conversation. As an incoming Restructuring Analyst I was initially drawn to their profile based on his “Q&A: Distressed Debt Hedge Fund Analyst & Top 3 MBA” post and by their wide range of experiences, which span restructuring, M&A, private equity, and distressed debt. Our conversation was primarily focused on how I should be thinking through buyside recruiting, discussing the differences between private equity versus hedge funds, and on how to develop an investors mindset prior to any interviews. Overall, I highly recommend the mentor to anyone who is looking to learn more about the various career paths in finance and how they can position themselves for those roles.

WSO Jumpstarted my Career
Wall Street Oasis was the sole reason for me being able to break into Finance and Consulting. The site has been my trusted source for Finance education, career advice, and compensation discussions. Thank you WSO!

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 around excel Tools and linking the different statements. Would have like more content on the different statements itself (outside of Excel).

Been on here for a few years. Some forums are interesting and some are not.
