Limited seats, and they're going fast! -Patrick TOP DISCUSSIONS 1) [Q&A - Tiger Cub Analyst](=) - "I'm a second year analyst at a large tech-focused tiger cub. I used this site a lot while in school so I felt it'd only be right for me to help out and answer any questions you guys had..." 2) [Keen for Views on MBAs](=) - "It probably wasn't as impactful as it was for the teacher to wanted to pivot into IB and I think that MBAs are perfect for those who are changing careers. For those who are a little less certain or who are already in banking/consulting/PE/HF etc it makes less sense from a direct career standpoint. With that said, I do think the network is impactful, both direct classmates and just the branding in general..." 3) [The company that won over the Dragons]( - "The pioneer in smart-doorbell technology, Ring, pitched their business on the hit show Shark Tank at a valuation of just $7mn - the sharks shut them down. 5 years later, the company sold to Amazon for more than $1bn, turning the 10% stake initially offered to the sharks from $700k to $100mn! A similar story is brewing up in the..." 4) [How to Control Temper?]() - "Currently in IB. Work is stressful as hell. Some clients drive me nuts / treat me like crap and I have a tendency to raise my voice (not yell at them) but just speak loudly. Was told a few times by senior team members that I need to watch my tone but I can't seem to get this right..." 5) [Search Fund are Paradise](=) - "Just when you're about to throw in the towel, you get a lead, a promising company with a motivated seller. The call goes well. You can't help but smile. This could be it! As you hang up, you realize that it's all worth it. The adrenaline, the chase, the sheer unpredictability. This is what it's all about..." LEARN FROM A PRO & GET TONS OF RESOURCES Fam, you don't want to miss the WSO's Financial Modeling & Valuation Bootcamp.

Legacy is an individual choice by the universities and does not violate anyone's constitutional rights. Same for athletes." 7) [Don't let the SIE exam stress you out](=) - "Study on your phone instead of falling into an endless scroll. Easily focus on concepts you're weaker on. Even if you've already passed the SIE exam, you'll want to use this learning system for future exams. Game changer!" 8) [How Do You Get Broker's Trust When Starting Out?]( - "Have been in the industry for a few years and always been wanting to do some small deals on the side. For folks who have gone through similar situations where you have no track record of doing deals on your own, how did you get broker's trust at the very beginning and have them start sending you real off-market deals?" 9) [Why Private Equity Practice vs. General Practice?]() - "IMO, the primary reason you'd want to do PE work is because you're interested in related exits such as PE investor role, VC, or corp dev. If you're not, personally I'd recommend steering clear since the WLB is bad and PE practices often attract some pretty bad people to work for (not saying all or a certain % are what I'd consider 'toxic' but certainly more than consulting more broadly)" WSO ALPHA - LATEST UPDATES We just uploaded the [May brokerage]( report for those of you curious how we did.
