    My Journey to TC

    I'm back y'all!! Had my TW AC yesterday and it was really intense. My brain went completely blank for the case study interview so I pretty much lost hope from the start of the AC. This is my first case study interview tho so I will definitely get better with more practice. On the plus side...
