How do I take zoom interviews if my office is mandating me to be back in almost every day? It’s tough to schedule all interviews on my 2 remote days. Is it in poor taste to prop up my phone and take the interview in a conference room on a mobile device?

Suggest you play it open with your potential new recruiter. Employers prefer honest employees and I typically make accommodations for new recruits in interview stage. Also, 2/5 days is 40% remote so that’s a good chance to schedule your interviews. I wouldn’t use your current employers space to do interviews, that’s not professional in my view.

Unless your team knows you’re leaving/recruiting, then it’s poor taste. You just need to go back to pre-COVID excuses like doctors appointments, apartment tours, coffee with a friend, etc.

Just schedule the interviews in the morning prior to 8.00 am - 10 am, do them from home and come into the office around 10.30.

Welcome back to the normal recruiting environment. If you are comfortable using a conference room go for it but that is wild and would get called out instantly here

Doctors appointment. Rent out an office space

Additional Posts in Investment Banking - IBD

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
