Amazing community that helped me in early stages of my career. Thank you to Patrick and the amazing contributors on WSO!

Great place to learn the ins and outs of starting a career in finance

These guys are dope. Best finance forum out there

It's a great resource for people wanting to break into banking/finance/other industries. There are very honest posts and experiences, which is usually good but sometimes can lead to a group bias effect. Also, the brutal honesty is sometimes not the best for newcomers, but I guess that's a good introduction to what you might have to deal with in the industry. Overall, it's a good resource!

I appreciate all the information I received on the site and the friendships made globally. The site contains hard to access data like firm culture and preparation for roles etc which is invaluable.

Site is no longer like it used to be. There used to be more helpful AMAs and newsletters seemed to have lost their way. Around 5 to 8 years ago when I was still in college and in my first two years of work life, the site was really helped prepare me mentally for job search and what to expect. The community was also more engaging and helpful in general.

WSO is a great resource for students and young professionals who are looking to get into finance to learn the ins and outs. It was a great resource for me before I applied to business school and I continue to both contribute to and learn from the site many years later.

Wallstreetoasis.com has a number of experienced industry professionals who contribute on certain discussion posts, mainly related to investment banking and private equity. The majority of users are high school and college kids who aspire towards a career in finance. The WSO database is helpful to provide insight into company reviews, interview details, and salary and bonus data for the many of the largest banking firms. The training modules are also very helpful. I purchased the DCF modeling course a while back and was pleased at how comprehensive it was. Also, I enjoy being able to throw “monkey s#i+” at users who offer less than helpful comments. I wish I had known about WallStreetOasis when I was younger. My career path would have been much less circuitous.
