Wall Street OasisReviews of wallstreetoasis.com

Been on here for a few years. Some forums are interesting and some are not.

I have been user for a long time and I have loved the website a lot. Currently, there are some issues the platform faces 1. App is buggy, I think it'd be really cool to have a fully functional non buggy app as most of my browsing on wso is done through the app now 2. Spam and low quality content is a plague on the forum. "Prestige" and "Rankings" threads dilute the quality of the platform. There should be better moderation deployed as these kind of posts lower the quality of the website

It's a solid platform, i think the concept is good, but the major drawback is that most users of the platform are college students, or rather, not actively on the street. i think the forum and learning and conversation would be great and very helpful to us all if more widely adopted by street participants. the site is also lacking a section for S&T (sales roles in particular, i.e. deriv sale, corp sale, institutional sales, etc)

A few years ago when I first started using, WSO was a place of forums and community discussions for candid discussions of Street happenings--culture, work/life balance, career progressions, and general questions. This was a great place to turn--especially while still in college or first starting out. However, now that seems to have fallen to the wayside in favor of monetizing the site through courses and pay/submit-to-view salary info etc. Understand the website is a business and that the courses are useful, but think that community was a strong pillar of what made WSO great and has now been forgotten--WSO forums are now difficult to find and not even listed at the top of the website. Just a bit disappointed that everything on WSO is now paywalled but hoping will change.

I used and it was helpful, but it is not the same as a 1-1 which my friend gave me, so I might be a bit biased.

Some useful advice although could be more structured - what I don't like is (I) where there was a mathematical mistake, ego gets it the way of them correcting it as they spout some vague nonsense to defend it [it's wrong, mathematically it's just the wrong sum] and (II) for the add-on pe course with an instructor, the instructor said he will share the materials and then went silent

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.

Site is filled with anonymous users spreading racist / messed up comments, and overall inappropriate content. It’s extremely tough to find relevant information at this point because the forums are filled with anon users posting political / social discussions as a way to get trending posts. Long-time user and have not liked the direction WSO has gone. I think the use of anon posts just really messed up the overall interaction as a professional discussion board.
