How to deal with interview delays?

I'm interviewing for a BB quant role, but it's been delayed multiple times. I'm wondering what I should do, and how I should be thinking about this:

  1. This is not the only opportunity I have, and also other opportunities require me to fly to other places. Normally, this interview would be first priority, but should I de-prioritize it when considering my schedule?

  2. Is this a bad sign for my desireability? I haven't interacted much with quant teams, but interviews for non-quant firms (boutique and bulge bracket) were seldom if ever delayed. Basically should I get over it and focus on studying for other roles.
