How do you balance taking interviews while working full-time? I’m in a job I want to leave, but sneaking out for mid-day calls and pretending to “run errands” is exhausting. Would you be open with your manager?

Only if you realllllly trust them. Have a friend who's been doing the same and one day they had to come clear and things have never been the same with their boss and they still haven't found a new job yet.

From my experience you have to be fully committed to getting out of your current job to really be able to explore a new one with interviews and other hoops. You’ll ultimately end up creating a stressful situation that your manager may be curious about, but if you’re already leaving, who cares about a little fire on the bridge you crossed?
With the way the job industry is, I wouldn’t tell my manager unless I had a personal relationship, but at that point they’d probably know I was already looking elsewhere and their management wouldn’t like that.

I recently was looking and scheduled interviews either 8AM, 11AM, and 4PM or later. That allowed me have interviews before work, at lunch or after work. I worked from home on interview days.
