Hello, I wanted to see if people had any advice on my bid list for OCI. I am purely looking to maximize my odds of getting a job. I thought I had it figured out but then I've been seeing that some of the lower Vault ranked firms I bid high are more selective than the higher Vault ranked ones I bid lower? I'm just a bit confused.
