Wall Street OasisReviews of wallstreetoasis.com

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. Confident is saying this as I've benefited directly from using the website and have been a user/small contributor/reader for 10+ years now.

Cool community with a bunch of cool clowns

Let's be honest - we all want to know how our compensation stacks up against our peers and what we can aspire to if we stick it out in banking. There is no better resource for benchmarking comp than Wall Street Oasis. Emphatic 5 Stars!

I've had a great time on the website, both for more light-hearted style posts and for more serious ones as well. I appreciate the OFF section of the website, allowing for more water-cooler style conversations to be in a different spot from the rest of the forums. Most especially useful are regular discussions of how to succeed as a finance professional, and on compensation and bonuses. These help me to get a good idea of how I should perform, and how I should expect to be rewarded.

You have to sift thru the rift raft because the community is wrought with short males who have tiny d*cks and alot of money. By and large, the tone is disrespectful towards each other, but potentially informative depending on what you're looking for. Maybe 3 stars.

Before this guide, I was lost on the technical and behavioral aspects of the IB interview process. This course goes beyond the typical 3 statement, walk me through DCF questions that most guides give you. The best thing about the course was the amount of veteran insight the instructors provide. That invaluable advice helped me gain confidence in the process, which lead to me landing at a BB!! Thanks Curtis & WSO!

The Investment Banking Guide contains everything a beginner needs in order to lend interviews and jobs. Its value does not stop at simply elaborating the right interview answers (like 400 IB questions and some other peers in the street), but explains what's expected and socially acceptable in the finance world. It helped me lend an awesome Hedge Fund gig right out of undergrad. Now as a finance professional, I see that the content acts as a set of basic rules and principles one must follow and understand in order to fit in into the elite world of top finance. Something I think would ease the flow of information would be to have sort of a Fast Track - simply combining the most important videos to nail an interview when you have ~1 day to prep (that was my case and I had to select the most important ones on my own, which was likely less efficient than what you guys would have recommended given your expertise in training prospective monkeys.) The videos on the course are great and insightful, but some video topics get a little random later on. Another feedback that I think might help you guys commercially is the fact that I have met people who have the PDFs of the courses without buying them (some friend likely shared it). I think having full access is much more valuable than the PDF, however, I think it would help if you made it more difficult to do that - either through password requirements on the PDF or to somehow encrypt the document in another format to avoid this.

I found this course extremely informative and easy to use. I had a finance internship last summer and this course did a much better job at making me competent at Excel
