I have a buy side interview tomorrow but have not had any time at all to prepare given workload. Has anyone been in a similar situation and have any suggestions for how to manage? I have a bunch of deliverables tonight and want to get decent sleep so I don’t think I’ll be able to prepare. This is a first round interview so I am hopig it won’t be too technical

Depends on the firm. Try your best to make time. I put fake calls on my calendar to carve out short periods of time for interview prep but have found most of my buyside first rounds are not too technical. My other advice is to turn your phone on silent (not vibrate). My staffer called my cell three times in a row during my video interview because I didn’t pick up the first time. It was distracting to say the least.

I feel like most of my first rounds have been super sell focused so as long as you know that stuff, your why XYZ, and then basic tech you should be fine

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.
