What’s the best way to manage expectations with a recruiter/hiring manager about the time you are able to commit to each interview process? It’s a hot market so I am exploring about 7 opps right now, but they all expect me to do multiple rounds of interviews during my work day and eventually a strategic assignment. I’m genuinely interested in all the roles but need to keep up with my current job so it’s hard to find time during the day for all these meetings. No one will meet before or after hrs

This feels like a bit of a flex, to be honest.

Before work, after work, at lunch, block your calendar. Take PTO. You make it work. It’s a little give on their end and take on your end.
It’s definitely easier while we’re WFH to block your calendar for an hour and take a call mid day.

I couldn’t fathom actively pursuing 7 and being presently employed. Narrow it down. Prioritize the ones you like the best. Breadcrumb others.

This, hate the busy excuse, like come on, you’re a VP too who can’t find time to say no to people? M-F, every hour? Really? The test part I can understand but that can be done after hours like you said. Lol

Hiring managers won’t be sympathetic and it’s odd to bring something like that up to them. You gotta make the time work or get passed up.
