I have greatly enjoyed the course so far
The lessons are clearly taught and the hands-on approach to building a model for AAPL is extremely helpful. The templates that we use are very transferrable to other companies and I plan to utilize them to practice on my own with other companies.
While I haven’t often put this into practice yet, I’m certain it will prove very valuable when I begin recruiting with investment management firms.
I am an analyst at a boutique and in addition to my many analyst duties I’ve been tasked with structuring our summer http://www.maxloan.org/payday-loans-ri internship program. I purchased the course to prepare interns for our program and make sure they have the necessary skills prior to joining.
(Our head of Equities stated his biggest challenge with interns is they generally do not have solid excel skills and hence take a long time to complete tasks that can be accomplished quicker with shortcuts/formulas etc).
I just finished my junior year and secured a job in IB for this summer. I was not an absolute novice to the course material, but there are advanced topics in finance that can be a little esoteric and my main goal was to get a grasp on some of the accounting topics and considerations in MA.
The Basic Package has certainly helped me gain confidence when discussing how one goes about modeling a company
I am a few videos away from finishing the MA modeling, and I love it. I finally understood why every IB interviewer asked about what happens when depreciation is increased!
Hopefully I will be able to apply much, if not all, that I have learned so far to my internship this summer.
I am still working with some of the coursework but I’m generally quite impressed with the thoroughness and ease of understanding . In terms of comprehensiveness my research found WSP is the most advanced , and I’ve been very happy with the curriculum.
I have about 8 years of experience in both financial analysis and risk analysis and my CFO recommended Wall Street Prep when I wanted to refresh/renew some financial teachings since the work world is much different than a classroom.
My main goal was to brush up on financial statements/modeling and learn some useful excel tricks before I started my full-time job as a commercial banking analyst post graduation.
The course definitely allowed me to do that. It was very enjoyable and hands-on. Once I completed it, I re-did the entire exercise for a different company.
I chose WSP over Breaking into Wall Street because a) WSP has more brand recognition, and b) I could upgrade later on to the premium version if I wanted to with WSP.
The Basic Package helped me become more confident before moving into my new job. Hopefully this will further develop my knowledge and skill, and help me to be more recognizable to bankers at bulge brackets.
I believe (and certainly hope) this course will help me prepare to answer interview questions for IB recruiting, and allow me to be ready to start working since day 1.
I’m about to begin my MBA at MIT Sloan and I’m using the Premium Package to get a hands-on understanding of Financial, DCF, and LBO Modeling before the recruiting season starts
I’m almost 7 years into my career and each position I’ve held hasn’t been Excel heavy until now, so I wanted to advance my Excel knowledge. The more I can do in Excel, the more beneficial I am to my team.
My manager brought this course to my attention as he knows I want to work on my technical skills, and one of my colleagues took the course and had all positive feedback.
