WSO:

[image]() Hey {NAME}, We've got a value-packed 2-day bootcamp to help you learn financial modeling and valuation. It's scheduled for August 26-27. [Check it out.]( -Patrick TOP DISCUSSIONS 1) [Good luck](=) - "Just wanna say good luck to anyone in the process of breaking in and feeling hopeless. Shout out to all the non-targets doing coffee chats every week. Shout out to the unpaid interns working virtual internships just to get your foot in the door. Shout out to those working/interning every semester to survive. Shout out to those praying every before and after every interview. Shout out to those who get ghosted after every first round....” 2) [My (Successful) Experience With On-Cycle This Year]() - “This year was a brutal process. Anecdotally, during the Sunday I was at the firm I got an offer from, I saw maybe two dozen candidates cycle in and out while I was there for 8 hours. Only two of us got offers that day. Most firms that participated in on-cycle gave out less offers than they have historically, and are saving more seats for off-cycle. So, the process is brutal, but off-cycle will have plenty of seats for the bright and hardworking analysts who haven't secured a spot yet. Stay hopeful....” 3) [Don’t Have to Hang Out with VDR Sales Guys]( - "You don’t actually like going for drinks with VDR sales guys, do you? Sure, we all like bottles of Opus One on someone else’s dime. But spending any more time than necessary with some guy pushing data room software? Hard pass. Apart from being a lame way to spend your Tuesday night..." 4) [Selfish Ask For Help In Situation](=) - “I don't need solutions to burnout (I've read great answers on the forum) - my issue is I don't have enough energy to even deal with my burnout. I just don't care enough to move. I've been grinding for god knows how long. How do I event get myself to fix this - is there a way back to who I was?...” [image]() THE ULTIMATE PROGRAM FOR ASPIRING INVESTMENT BANKERS Landing an investment banking offer is tough coming from any school – from non-target all the way to the Ivy League.

TOP DISCUSSIONS CONTINUED 5) [Would You Redo IB Again]( - “The advice I wished all people would get is the advice a manager gave me: "I never hated my job, if you do, it's the wrong job and time to leave...." 6) [Somebody Explain Hedging](=) - “Not a trader but this always was hard to understand for me too until I understood something very essential that you probably don't realise. Whenever you long/short a security, what you are buying is not just 1 risk but a collection of "risks". You get rewarded (or punished) for holding said risks....” 7) [How's Your 2023 Lookin' So Far?](=) - “Moved halfway across the country with a new job, it's going pretty well so far. Liking the new digs and a lot tanner than I was before! Hopefully, I have signed my last-ever lease, as the wife and I are using our 12-month rental period to decide if we want to buy a house here - exciting, albeit stressful....” POLL OF THE WEEK [image](=) WSO ALPHA - LATEST UPDATES We just uploaded the [May brokerage](=) report for those of you curious how we did.
