Re: Excel Crash Course

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.

The course was great. I’ve already started to put it into practice so I won’t forget anything that was taught. Technical skills are something I am working on so this helps in my development objectives and I can assist colleagues in some of their day to day functions.

Re: Premium Package

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.

The deciding factor in buying this course over others is that it is actually used in financial institutions.

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.

Re: Basic Package

I purchased the Basic Package (as well as the Excel course) to try to better learn Excel functions and formatting as well as brushing up on some modeling skills. I am currently in a job search after being laid off from my first role and I wanted to be sharp for any case study interviews.

I chose WSP mainly because of the message boards on Wall Street Oasis and I also believed the price was right on these packages compared to others.

I thought the courses were great. I went through them rather quickly thanks to the ability to listen at a faster rate. Both packages taught me a lot about modeling and I became much more efficient with my excel skills.

I actually was able to use the skills from both packages to produce some solid case studies for a couple interviews.

Re: Basic Package

As a seasoned business professional recently promoted from an operations focused corporate finance position to a Director of FP&A, I purchased the basic package from Wall Street Prep to see if the premium package would be a worthy investment. I was not disappointed.

In reviewing the videos in the initial package, I found them to be very informative. Although I was familiar with the basic structure and connections between the financial statements, it was interesting to get an insider’s view of equity operations and how the modeling is used on Wall Street.

I’d highly recommend the basic package for people in corporate finance functions, and am looking forward to going over the content in the premium package. I also learned a few new formulas in Excel, which rarely happens, and got a view of Wall Street that I did not have prior to going through the material.

Re: Premium Package

My main goal was to get a better all around understanding of modeling, particularly in LBO modeling before I move into PE. I’m currently a 2nd year analyst at a top bank.

I chose this program it because a number of well-known investment banks used it as part of their analyst training. I have really enjoyed the course so far and look forward to finishing it, as I believe it will help me make the transition to PE.
