The hardest part of interviewing while employed isn't the interviews, it's the calendar
Currently employed, looking on the side. The logistics are what's getting me. Recruiter screens I can slot into lunch, but final rounds are 3-4 hours in the middle of a workday, and I can only burn so many "dentist appointments" before someone spots the pattern.
Do people just take PTO for the big rounds? Block their calendar as focus time and vanish for a morning? I don't want to be dishonest with my current team, but I also can't announce I'm leaving before I've got something signed.
How did you juggle this without it becoming obvious?
