Has anyone experienced burnout from interviewing? I’m extremely exhausted because of the extensive interview processes I’ve been through and I’m not sure what to do. I have 2 big interview rounds coming up for roles I really want but I’ve put so much energy into interviewing for other roles that I can’t even focus and prepare for the upcoming 2. I’m not prepared for the interviews so I’m not sure if I can take a long break but I’m open to literally any suggestions! Thanks!

Can you move the interview dates around a little bit? You’d wanna do your best and if you’re in this state, you wouldn’t be able to

Yes. Try to move these and use some PTO. Then take a short break (2wks?) from actively looking/scheduling. I did this twice in my last job search to maintain my enthusiasm, my mental health and my original role.

Move your interviews out or take sick days at your day-job.

Gonna see if I can do this. Thanks!

Move the dates. Once I had 4 interviews lined up in one date - 2 from each of the 2 firms. I asked one firm to move. For the rest of the two - the firm canceled one the previous day citing interviewer unavailability and the last one remaining- interviewer didn’t show up. So you see , similar to you , I was freaking out. I think if you don’t move the date poor performance may disqualify you. On the other hand moving the date may get other candidates to be interviewed and selected. I would attempt to move around the dates, if I were you. Good luck

Oof. That sounds very stressful! I’m gonna see if I can reschedule. I am worried about them hiring someone else in the meantime but I guess if the job is meant for me then it will be. Thank you!

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!
