With there being no end to the list of websites blogs youtube videos on vac scheme and TC application and interview tips, where does one actually draw the line and feel that one has covered enough ground? I am really lost rn

Hi Dhruv,
It's a great question and gets at the information overload problem we all face.
My advice would be to remember the pareto principle and the rules of power law distributions...
Almost of the value you will need will come from a small number of the top resources.
So i would saw draw a line at about 5 of the top sites/ resources and focus on getting what you can out of them, rather than being endlessly worried that there is another site out there you are missing out on,
Good luck!
