WSO - Website Design Elements - Hyperlinks
Generally liking the new format of the site, but I was thinking about how hyperlinks to external sites vs to other WSO pages (like definitions) might be improved if they were in a different font color? Does anyone else agree? For example, I added the link to the "new urbanism" Wikipedia page, but...
WSO Academy
Hi all, just curious for those who have gone through the WSO Academy program offered by WallStreetOasis, is it honestly worth it for the price tag that it comes with? I am a non-target student studying a non-traditional degree that would like to go onto a HF career, it seems as if it can be help but...
Can we move the resources button?
Can we move the resources button at the top ow the WSO page somewhere else? When I move my cursor up to click on the PE forum button, I sometimes overshoot and then the Resources pop-out balloons out and covers the whole screen, and and you've got to move all the way down or to the side to make it...
How far back does the WSO inbox go?
I'm trying to find old messages in my inbox in WSO and just noticed that at least in my view they only go back a year. Did older private message threads get cleared?
Notifications in Red?
Why are notifications on the desktop site (in night color mode at least) now in red? Pretty threatening color choice, I think the yellow was much better. Maybe getting MS should be in red while other notifications are in green/yellow. Additionally, I think it'd be great if user could mark their...
Keyword detection feature
Lets just say the new keyword detection feature that WSO has started, and by detecting the keywords, it moves the post into the forum which it deems fit merely by picking up on the keywords SUCKS!! I am trying to get a response on some things from industry folk and simply because my post has words...

Is it worth following up about an interview?
I had an interview last Wednesday and have not heard back. I was shortlisted to the second round of interviews, thought it went well and the internship posting has been removed since i interviewed. It's with a F50 company so they have a very large HR department that has been very responsive. The...
Should I exclude GPA from my resume?
Before last year I had a 2.7 (parent died freshman year + lazy) . I took a year off due to financial reasons (worked the whole time to pay off school) and now I have a 3.1. I took the max # of classes and got a 4.13. I have been busting my ass although I was definitely a lazy POS when I had the 2.7....
RE Modeling -- WSO new courses
Has anyone tried the new modeling courses introduced by WSO? I'm between the BIWS, WSO, and REFM courses. There's plenty of reviews on this site for the differences between BIWS and REFM, so I was hoping someone could shed some light on the new WSO package and if it's any good.
Duplicate comments on WSO posts?
I'm not sure if this is just me, but I now keep seeing duplicate comments on WSO posts. Wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue cause it's pretty distracting

Long-term, I want to work in Lev Fin / DCM / MM Credit. I'm infatuated with credit/debt and I'm looking for a...
What It Really Means to Be "Alpha"
I'm fairly new here, and deciding what to write about in a blog entry might seem easy enough, but I'd rather people enjoy what I read than just read it and forget it. So I spent some time this week going through the more popular posts on WSO , and a good chunk of them revolve around this hilarious...
Why does the chat even exist? Dead af
@AndyLouis" , @WallStreetOasis.com" . Self-explanatory. Forums are much more popular. Irritating little black bug at the corner of my screen.

How WSO has enhanced my IB/PE career
Background I randomly discovered WSO nearly seven years ago just weeks after I secured a FT MM IB position. The website was extremely nascent at the time with only a few thousand registered users. The majority of the users were college students with only a handful of people actually working in...

WSO Guides, technical and behavioral, differences over the years?
I have the WSO behavioral and technical guides from 2013, and I was wondering whether or not I should purchase the newest editions of these guides? Are the guides severely different today from the prior years' guides?
WSO University Rankings
There is always a lot of talk about 'target' schools, 'prestige' and the like. I'm genuinely curious exactly how people on this site measure which universities are 'top tier'. From the perspective of an Australian, this all seems very arbitrary and based significantly on the abundance of OCR. For...

Do you guys go on Wall Street Oasis from your work computers?
I just started my internship and it's pretty boring. I'm nervous to go on certain websites though because I don't want my superiors to think that I'm slacking off (even though I obviously am).
Hello Everyone, New to WSO
Hello Everyone! I am an avid reader of WSO . I wanted to make this post to introduce myself and have a few questions regarding life in investment banking vs. accounting, and the roles regarding startups or corporate finance (exit opportunities). I'm going to attend a non-target school (CSU San...
[Interactive Poll] What race are you?
Vote + see results here: http://strawpoll.me/1780548 We all know that WSO - and Wall Street for that matter - is mostly male, but we know relatively little about our ethnic mix. Surely you've wondered about this at some point, so now it's time to take a poll and find out! Feel free to post about...

Anyone recover yet? Hahaha. Highlights?
London WSO Drinks
It has been a while since we Brits got together for a few pints and now that "that exam" is over, it is high time we enjoyed the wonderful London summer! So far we have had 2 events, both with a decent-ish turnout. The evenings usually started off a bit slow with nobody really knowing who anyone...
Authentication Required box pops up
@"WallStreetOasis.com" Same pop-up box that came up a few weeks ago, it's grey and says "The server http://www.dev. wso .com:80 requires user/pass. The server says: Secured."
Thanks to WSO
Just wanted to stop and thank the creators of WSO . I know they have a vested interest in the site but they do seem genuinely interested in the community and upkeep. I've followed this site for over 3 years and got hooked on Eddy's posts when he still wrote often.
Save/bookmark threads or blog posts/articles
I'm not sure if this is the right forum topic to post in, so I apologize if it's not. I'm brand new here and I was wondering if there is any way (besides bookmarking in my browser) to save different threads in the forum, or blog posts/articles that I want to refer back to or monitor discussions on.

Not That You Should Care, But... I'm Back!
I have an inordinate amount of PMs in my mailbox and I don't think I have the ability to dig through them. Feels good to be back, I missed my monkeys. But if you had any interaction with me in the past month and wondered why I hated you so bad, the truth is I only hate you a little and was just on...
What Headhunters REALLY Think of Bankers
mod (Andy) note: "Blast from the past - Best of Eddie" - This one is originally from January 2011. If there's an old post from Eddie you'd like to see up again shoot me a message. You get calls from headhunters all the time, often kissing your ass. But what do they really think of investment...
WSO London Drinks
Time for some more London drinks - the venue for the last one was a poor choice (my fault) as it was too crowded and people struggled to find each other. That is why this time I'm thinking we go back to the site of the first drinks - The George pub near Liverpool Street station - informal, easy to...

How to see resume on threads?
This question is going to sound silly, but I can't seem to figure it out... On a lot of the "chance" threads where people ask WSO to critique their resume, I can't see where to open their resume. there is simply nothing there other than their question, although I know clearly others opened it up...
Four Years of BraverMania
I passed a pretty cool milestone last week. Four years ago last week I began writing for WSO. As near as I can tell (this was before we started using the blog format) this was my first post . As you can see, the financial crisis was in full throttle and it was an exciting (and somewhat...

Where to learn modeling skills for real estate?
Hey, I am wanting to join a real estate firm on the development or acquisition side. Most of these positions require the applicant to understand how to put together excel models on deals. My University never taught anything of the sort, so I have tried picking it up through Breaking Into Wallstreet,...
WSO Conference
Patrick, Andy (even though I didn’t get to meet you), Chris, Eugene, and everyone else that contributed to the conference, I must say a job well done. The conference overall from my experience, and the feedback from other attendees, was a success. It seemed, as which comes up a lot on the forums,...
Outted on WSO
Who here has a) seen a person's WSO posts and discovered/inferred who he is in real life (perhaps a friend or acquaintance), or b) had his own WSO identity figured out by others in the industry? How were your perceptions (or those of the other party) changed? Do you only think of them negatively if...
