Have a super day next week that aligns horribly with meetings that I will certainly be noted for missing. Super day will take the entire afternoon.

In all likeliness, my VP will have to cover all the work that I’ll certainly miss with short deadlines.

Can’t move the interviews. What would you do?

Run it man. You’re literally alive one time. That’s it. You’ve got like 60 years left at best, if cancer or car accidents don’t get you first. And your dick probably won’t work after 40 years, so really you’ve got less time to enjoy life.

Take the chances. Run the super days. Screw your VP. No one ever goes down in history for “staying late to finish the CIM before year end so their VP can enjoy Christmas with his girlfriend.”

Go seize the day and don’t regret anything. Risk aversion is for people who like saltine crackers and second place

Is analyst recruiting for PE accepted / encouraged in your group? If yes, then I assume it would be ok and you should give your deal team as much heads up as possible.

My group knows virtually all 1st years will be interviewing for PE during recruiting season so we generally just pick up the slack to give them time. One of the few upsides to my group although selfishly the MDs know it’s good relationship wise as we generally place analysts in top PE groups in my industry coverage.

If not, still take the interview but we’re gonna need more info on how to approach it.

Are you on a 2 yr contract that is almost up? If yes, might as well come clean with the VP as you’re expected to leave soon.

Do you have an associate? If yes, come clean and ask him to cover for a day.

What work are you leaving behind? Is it simply taking notes? Is it answer questions about a deliverable?

Could probably leverage the pandemic and say your close family is in the hospital and you have to fly that day to visit.
