hypothetical: if you had 1 day to prepare for an AC what would u do 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I would look at a deal the firm made, news that affects the firm and go over my why them again. Maybe go over their values again.
In any case good luck for tomorrow if the hypothetical is not so hypothetical!

I love how there was a whole discussion about stopping memes and gifs being posted and yet so many of us are still posting them. Hoping we’re not gna get cancelled or banned for this lmao. Lowkey gna try slow down with them for a bit now.

Guys please dont stop the process is already stressful enough as it is and I find many of these types of posts genuinely very entertaining and cheers me up. Also people do not need to read the whole forum anyway if they want to find specific info they can just search the firm on the forum which is what I often do.
