Wall Street Oasis Finance Research Analyst Internship

Looking To Join Internship & Scale Up. Please let me know if anyone can review my profile & help me with onboarding 

You must constantly develop in this field and improve your skills in selling currencies. A good investor needs to be able to multitask. To manage all of your assets and make timely payments for your services.

you really think this is exploiting given all of the benefits we're offering?  We do have a few paid internship positions, but this particular project would be negative ROI for WSO even if we paid $1/hr to the interns (not exaggerating).  We can, in my opinion, offer a ton of value with our courses, bootcamps, recommendations and as a resume builder, etc...

Are you suggesting that this internship for a sophomore is better than doing nothing?

If anyone reading this is considering allowing themselves to be exploited like this... have some self respect and put a proper value on your time. 

I do plenty of unpaid work on the WSO platform and I can personally vouch for the Wall Street Oasis team.

If someone completed the internship program and felt cheated by the end of it, I have zero doubts that Patrick would do everything in his power to make it right.

I appreciate your point of view and that you've voiced it.

For someone who's done the internship, I can find the value for myself. I've definitely had worse internships and work experiences so spending 175 hours contributing to WSO was definitely worth it, better than wasting time on other less value add activities.

I do understand that you may not see much benefit in it, and that's absolutely fine, but it's a matter of perspective I would say. I would rather do it than not. Personally, if I didn't think it was good I wouldn't have enrolled and been accepted. It's a bit like wanting or not to do a specific job. Lastly, it was an opportunity for me so it worked well as far as I'm concerned.

Hi,

I too can personally vouch for the Internship Opportunity. Forget the pay(if that's the only criteria you consider as a metric),  WSO has taught me more than what my 3 years of undergrad have taught me haha! For starters, the valuable insights I get from listening to Patrick help other students trying to break into the realm of investment banking and ask him some of the questions you have in mind are priceless in my opinion. Furthermore, the "work" I do during my internship is not time wasted. I get to research the relevant topic and GET PAID in terms of these courses at the same time. I don't know how good these courses are because I haven't started any, but I can definitely argue they will definitely add weight to your resume, especially when you apply to IB roles.

All the courses combined.  

Correct, that is the goal.  The problem is for 1 single term of KW, it is typically ~2-5 hours of work for what is (usually) very minimal ROI (or at the very least, very hard to measure).  If we paid out even $1/hr, the vast majority of this work would be negative ROI (I suspect given we make a very low RPM = revenue for every thousand pageviews given the nature of a forum), so we instead decided to create this internship as a way to give students an option to build their resume (if they want) and give them a lot of value in other ways (leveraging the online courses and bootcamps we already run PLUS the network and recommendations from myself and Brant) while helping the community.

We have paid interns as well, but we can only have ~2-3 at a time given the costs and this project is the only way to move us forward on the SEO side without going broke. 

I understand the negative association with unpaid internships, but I think in this case we are giving a lot back to the interns, even if that is not in cash. 

Previous interns agree (often they don't realize until later how valuable it is for their resume).  Check out the testimonials here: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/wso-2020-fall-internship

...oh, please no...

Actually, she pays min wage now 

With the working location freedom afforded by the pandemic, and because of our incredible success in transforming into a fully distributed workforce, TOBIN has commenced a student internship program. Tobin pays federal minimum wage for these positions which generally provide for ten-to-fifteen hours of work with the Firm per week.

With how much trolling that goes on in this forum these days, and the amount of practice we give each other on the topic, I can't even discern between trollpost and actual inexperienced 18 year old. That's true next tier trolling.

Thanks for the kind words.  We have an awesome team right now and it's growing steadily :-)

Since we started this program only a few months ago - we have already hired 2 of the interns full time and several paid part-time :-)  We've promoted several others to higher impact projects and imagine how that looks on their resume. :-)  We're just getting started and plan to grow the team considerably, especially this Summer when we expect this will be a very attractive Freshman or Sophomore internship.

working now for you?

great, see you on the inside!

yes

Yes, very much so! 

right, so the application is to show us how you can research and rewrite a better version of the topic to get a sense if you'd be a good fit for the internship or not.

Yes

yup, all welcome
