Just one to two, and then evaluated and if it still wasn’t the right fit I kept interviewing until I found something the market was offering me worthwhile. If your interested in working at CFGI, dm me.

I've only ever interviewed at 1 company at a time. I only go if it's a role I really want. I've always gotten my roles of interest.
