How do you have time to prep for interview

Hey. Just curious how you guys managed the time to prepare for interviews for your first HF job out of IB or ER. Always have to do research on the HF, the manager, case study… 

Already so busy at job. How did you navigate… what was the record numbers of interviews did you have to prep at one time? Your boss will not notice the change of your productivity?

Thanks
