2 hour long in-person interviews are extremely exhausting for me. By the last round, my brain is completely mush. Any tips on how to keep sharp and attentive throughout?

Get a good night's sleep. Avoid the coffee crash. Try to schedule the interviews for when you are most alert if you can. If it's interacting with people that's draining, try to avoid anyone until the interview. It's tough for anyone to be "on" for long periods. The further up you go the longer you have do it.😆

I just go straight to mush in the first round. Consistency is better. At least that's what I tell myself. Aim low and avoid disappointment, amirite?

You think that's bad? Try interviewing client side- u met with 10 people in a 4 hour period once. I essentially had to request a glass of water and a protein bar.

My interview process at Huge took 5 hours with 7 people and included a case study. It helped knowing the format ahead of time in order to mentally prepare.

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
