Because the quality of the answers on this app telegraphs people who actually know their shit after being in the trenches rather than undergraduate saps that still have wet dreams of grandeur.

FB feels more social. Though i like the work banter. The twitter like feed helps. I may be crazy for saying this, but I can see myself grabbing beers with a few on here

It's a valuable app/forum for all the reasons listed above and more. Also, the lighthearted humor and fun banter is enjoyable.

In some ways. You have more advice in real time. It's more fun. And probably the biggest difference vs WSO is that professionals are verified here as actually working in finance. I felt WSO had a lot of people that wanted to get into finance.

^ seems to have less BO types? And how would you know that when it only has their company's name listed. Lol.
