For alumni and MBA2s: With school starting again, how do you recommend balancing multiple interviews in 1 week without burning ourselves out for interviews happening later that week or the next week, especially if they're in different industries and require different prep?

I burned out right before my last MBB interview at the end of this past week of interviews, and I'm trying not to repeat the same mistake. 🫠

I laughed because I definitely used to skip all my classes. There is definitely no way I could have done everything I was doing and go to classes.

I personally wouldn't really recommend skipping class unless you're confident you don't need the information. But it’s definitely tough to juggle multiple interviews without burning out. What’s helped me is scheduling prep in chunks, so like focus on one industry at a time so you can get into the right mindset without overwhelming yourself. Also, make sure to take breaks and rest in between interviews to stay fresh
