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.

Build out separate VC / growth / startup community beyond the PE umbrella
Over the past few years, I’ve found myself using WSO less. Not because I think the quality has dipped - in fact, I feel the WSO is very thoughtful about how they want to grow over time. But it’s because I’ve made the move over to venture / growth equity in the past 3-5 years, and WSO is less relevant in this sector. Comparatively, there are a lot of adjacent / competing sources (VC / tech blogs, news subscriptions, tech/VC/Fintech podcasts, etc) that are more relevant and can command a fair bit of time.

In addition, as I’m currently in a principal-equivalent role, where I need most help from a guidance/advice standpoint is 1) how do I make partner, 2) how do I move to a different VC (lateral recruiting) + navigate negotiations, 3) how do I build relationships, and/or 4) how do I think about maybe joining a startup or my next phase of growth. I’m not really seeing that advice + exposure at WSO (given it’s more IB/PE focused, and naturally more geared towards advice for analysts/associates).

I think it would be great if WSO makes a separate VC/growth/startup section - and enable WSOers that belong in that community (or want to be part of it) to find each other. Right now, a lot of that gets lost in the PE bucket.

Also - is there a ways to bring more senior WSO members (people that have made principal/partner) to the platform? That will help provide value-add to your mid/Sr members, and encourage them to pay it forward as they grow. Finally, if you’re able to do this, I think it also allows members to potentially get to know each other beyond their WSO user name and get past the anonymity, enabling relationship building + stronger feelings / ties to the WSO community.

Grounded in practice and theory.
Grounded in practice and theory. In my opinion, a better alternative to courses like Wall Street Prep and Corporate Finance Institute (I’ve tried them all).

Recommend this wholeheartedly
Really useful course. I learned a lot during the course, on building models, types of valuation, etc. Recommend this wholeheartedly as well as their other good courses (Modeling package and interview package for the industry you are targeting).

Indispensable guide for bankers and industry professionals. I had an 8 year Wall Street career largely thanks to WSO. From my corporate finance classes to interview guides and posting questions on the forum, WSO was critical to getting in the door and then succeeding. I don't think I would have had the career I did without it.
