Wall Street OasisReviews of wallstreetoasis.com

It is an interesting site but it hasn't really added too much to my day to day life. I'm not sure what could really be done to improve it though. I'd still recommend.

WSO has been a great forum. I am an active of the Business School sub-section. Being a fellow future MBA student - I am able to assist other students, as well as connect/have my own question answered. The site is 4 stars because while it could be "great" - there need to be active moderators that could keep out spammers/trolls. Not many, but there tend to be some here and there.

Although I don't regularly use the forum anymore, I did enjoy the content and found various threads helpful. There are a ton of great posts about how Wall Street really works and what it takes to be successful there. I really like the ranking system used for quality of content - so that venting/weak posts don't get much more attention than they deserve. Platform has a clean look, and is generally helpful when searching content. In terms of feedback, I'd suggest the following: 1) Add Sub-boards within IB, HF, PE, etc. based on topics being discussed 2) I'm against censoring folks - I'm also not ok with some of the anti-religious/discriminatory comments made towards certain religions on there. Either allow no-holds barred commentary on all religions, or none of it with moderators.

Great forum, overall great job, some trolls but that can’t be avoided. Thanks!

Overall I’m very happy with everything (bench the longish tenure). That being said, I think some of the “groups” could be shuffled around / some taken away and some added.

great content, search engine needs improvement

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.
