Incoming SA at a LMM (think DA Davidson, Capstone, B Riley) and am planning to re recruit FT this coming summer, but I want to make sure I get the return offer. How can I discretely take a call during the day / how can I fit a call into my schedule? I think it will be easy to tell I'm lying if I say something like "I'm going to the dentist"

Take calls while walking to lunch outside of the building if possible. Or in the bathroom some days but that may cause weird looks if it's 15+ minutes.
Unrelated to this, but I take 20 min bathroom breaks or so. When I poo, I like to really get clean. There is one stall which is big that has a sink in it. Sometimes I'll travel up and down floors to find that particular bathroom (because they are identical across floors). I like to use water to make sure I don't get dookie underwear. It just does not feel clean to just use paper. Consequently, it does take me 20+ mins when I for a number 2. Usually also why I try to only take a dump at like 19.00 or later, not during the day.
Tell your bank to get a bidet.
Washing in the sink is crazy. Tf is wrong with y’all.
I do NOT wash in the sink! I just wet the paper.
Using water is key!!!! Unless you're French. They detest water.
Figure out when it's socially acceptable to go to the gym at your bank - often 5-6pm is okay. Schedule two 30 min or three 20 min calls back to back during this time
pretend you are having landlord issues and go to a conference room
Bump!
