What people are saying
“I just wanted to say thank you for making the content you make. The Wall Street Skinny has been a huge resource for learning about finance and taught me a ton about recruiting. If it weren't for The Wall Street Skinny, I don't think I would have known the effort it takes to get an internship. I recently accepted an offer at Blackstone and this course has been a big part of my journey. Thank you!”
John
“Extraordinary course simplifying complicated concepts. I am in my 70s and have spent 50 years in the industry across law, investment banking, sales & trading, and high net worth investment management, but have yet to encounter anyone capable of making Wall Street as accessible and fun as these ladies.”
JR
"As a University Career Coach specializing in Finance and Consulting, I recommend this podcast to all of my students. The detail and expertise is spot on and their energy is infectious!"

Who are Kristen and Jen?
We are lifelong friends, former Investment Bankers, and teachers. With The Wall Street Skinny, we’ve built what we wish we’d had when we started our careers in finance two decades ago.
We leverage our combined 25+ years of experience working and teaching at the world’s most elite financial institutions & universities, our passion for storytelling, and our love of creating fun & relatable content to deliver essential knowledge in the most effective way.
Where should I start?
We have a free podcast that functions like a curriculum to immerse yourself in the world of Wall Street. Learn on the fly while you’re walking, driving, or working out.
We offer self-paced courses to teach you the precise skillset that will help you land a Wall Street job. We leverage a combined 25+ years of working and teaching at the world’s most elite financial institutions and universities to deliver essential knowledge in a relatable way.
We partner with institutions around the world to offer unique learning opportunities beyond the scope of conventional one-size-fits-all corporate training.
We offer one-on-one consultations for individuals who want more specialized guidance
Do I need any prior finance knowledge or experience?
Nope! We will meet you wherever you are.
And for those with experience…just because you’ve taken finance classes or spent time on the job doesn't mean you’ve had effective teachers. We’ve spent decades perfecting the art of building intuition rather than memorizing formulas. We will help you overcome the imposter syndrome that EVERYONE experiences.
Neither of us came from finance backgrounds. We break concepts down through the lens of pop culture and everyday examples. And we have a rule to never use jargon without defining it first!
No BS, Just Bullish.
