    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I spoke about it today in a case study I was asked. I expressed that investors need to be wary when investing because if this. Interview was happy with my answer. I think as long as you know why you’re saying it and why it’s relevant is okay.
