Did one of the Wall St. Training guys get engaged to Angelina from Jersey Shore???
See David Kovacs at Wall Street Training: http://www.wallst-training.com/instructors.html Now see this: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-02-16/gossip… If David is anything like his colleague, Hamilton Lin, you got to wonder what sort things these two discuss at the dinner table.
training at bb--what does this mean
Can any current analysts comment please? What does it mean that a lot of BBs train you? Does this just mean that they bring in a company like TTS or Wall Street Prep to teach you modeling for two weeks before the job? I am just curious because I think I am going to be working at a boutique ib that...
For pay trading programs
Ok I am looking to see if there are any worthwhile FOR PAY summer equity training programs. I see places like SMB have 7 or 8 week inhouse programs for 8k, but I see little discussion on the quality of these. I am not looking for a job oppurtunity as I am going into grad school next year. The cost...

Training for a Marathon Senior Year of College??
So I've recently been kicking around the idea of training for a marathon beginning next fall semester (my senior year).

Accounting / Finance Pre-Test Prior To FT Training
Was recently issued mandatory pre-testing in accounting / finance topics that needs to be completed by FT training start day. How intense are these exams? Or, are they pretty high-level?

Wall Street Prep vs Wall Street Training
So, I've already taken Wall Street Training, the Advanced Financial and Valuation Modeling course. I had no experience prior to the course, so I learned quite a bit about DCF , EV , Market Comps, etc. Now, Wall Street Prep is hosting a training seminar at my b-school this spring. It is a course...

Learning Curve For A Lateral Hire (no Training!!)
I graduated in 2009 from a top-10 school and wasted about a year in consulting before I realized I wanted to transition back into finance.

Training Material
I am looking for real-industry (as opposed to academic) training material for Equity Research Analysts , can anyone help with this?
Do I need to prepare before training?
Will the bank's training prepare me with everything I need to know or should I have some solid modeling experience going into the 4-6 week training program? WIll I be left in the dust if I have really only studied the interview guides rather than used them in practice?
Brushing up on financial modeling skills
So I'm starting a new job within IB in a couple of weeks after almost a year away from any financial modeling experience. What are some online tutorials that I can purchase and go over in only a couple of weeks to really fine tune my skills? Thanks.
Why is training necessary at BBs?
I started at a boutique just a few months ago. When I got to my desk on the first day, there was a pretty formidable valuation primer and a stack of database manuals waiting for me. On my second day I was putting together a book and spreading comps . Granted the firm has its own M.O. when it comes...

I am starting at a BB in a few weeks as a new associate out of bschool and was wondering if anyone would recommend studying for the Series 79 and/or 63 before I start. I know I'll have time and resources to study in training but have any of you regretted waiting until then to study for it?
When does training begin in the UK?
Does anyone know when the buldge bracket banks start training in London? Specifically MS?
When does your first FT paycheck come?
I did a search on this topic and didn't find much. This is probably a silly question: when does the first paycheck come for FT analysts? I start 5 weeks of training the first week of July but don't start in the office until the second week of August. Is training paid? I am trying to make financial...
10 Week Internship
When BBs say their internship is 10 weeks, does that 10 weeks include training? I.e. 1 week training and 9 week experience or is the entire 10 weeks experience and they have additional weeks for training?
SNL Training?
Has anyone completed training classes offered by SNL? What was your experience? Is it worth begging my MD to bust out $2,000 for a two-day training for me or is it a complete waste of time??

"Trained analyst" on resume?
at the MM Bank I interned for this summer, I, along with the rest of the interns, were the only junior (/analyst) level people on the trading floor (I interned in S&T and am now trying to lateral over to IBD FT). Needless to say, most of us ended up doing all the analyst work we could get our hands...
Do You Dare Me?
I was thinking with the popularity of this website. Do you think it would be a fun idea to where a WSO T-Shirt during training. I know that training is b-casual but maybe during community service or during after hours I can wear it. I personally know a dozen fellow monkeys in my analyst class who...

Word has it that Citi laid off a bunch of people last summer for doing poorly in training...can you seriously get fired for doing poorly in training? Also, is anyone going to look at the online diagnostic test results?
Wall street Prep before SA or FT?
I'm interning as a SA at a BB this summer in IBD . Should i take wall street prep before this summer to try and be ahead of the curve? I imagine they won't really expect me to know modeling. I know FT is when the training for modeling really occurs. Would you recommend a program like wall street...
UK Training
Quick question: I'm going to be starting FT in New York City with a bank this summer. However, the bank's training program for its incoming analyst class will likely be held in the UK. In addition to having an up-to-date passport, is there anything else that I need to obtain. (i.e. a work permit,...
Training Programs
What do you think of firms that have formal one year training programs as opposed to firms that have rigorous training for a month or so and then let you trade a small account. It seems like the latter is more conducive to learning, at least for me, since you get to learn by doing, learn from...
