Interviewing at an other fund while working full time

Hello,

I'm working as equity analyst at a MM HF and I'm looking to move.

How do you guys manage to pass your interviews (that generally happens during working hours) without getting caught by your boss ?

I already took some day off to interview but it's not sustainable. Thanks

Hey Research Analyst in HF - EquityHedge, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
