Hi there,
I was in a similar position to you (interviewing while working on a BCG project). You're luckier than I though...much easier to hop onto an interview from WFH than having to rush to a physical location in the middle of the day in between stressful deliverables!
My guess is that you're not actually asking about how to prepare for interviews (as you go into MBB, you know the drill), but rather how to manage the interview scheduling itself.
You have a few options:
Good luck!

Hello!
I had the same situation and don´t worry, it can be handled. Furthermore now, everything is more flex.
I would try to get as much working from home time as you can the days that you have the calls, since it´s always more stressful doing them in the workplace. Even if that is the place, book a separate room, there are plenty, and none will ask questions.
Best of luck with that change :)
Hope it helps!
Cheers,

Hello there!
Time-management would be the key to succeed in the process.
Here is what you could do:
If you have difficulties with self-preparation, I would suggest finding a coach and spend the time you have on sessions, that would make the process faster.
Hope it helps and good luck!

Totally depends on how much effort is required. If you need to put in a lot of time to prep for interviews you should consider using PTO as MBB does not leave much time for prep. If a lot of the interviews are focused on questions you do not need to spend time learning (so non technical questions) then you can usually manage by setting aside some time on weekends.

Hi,
In the times before Covid, I prefer to do interviews in early morning or after office hour.
In current time it supposed to be easier to manage. However, I would suggest you use an agreed regular blocked time in the week to do the interviews
Best,

Either take the day off or manage expectations in your case team explicitly and tell them you're off for an hour for a personal appointment.
Hi there,
If you mean how to find the time to prepare for interviews, your main options are:
If you mean how to organize the interview day, it makes sense to take the day off.
Hope this helps,

Hey there,
I'd take a day off to be out of the engagement loop and able to fully focus on the interviews.
If you are working from home and the interviews are virtual, you could also block that time of the day in your calendar. However, some other meetings or urgent priorities might creep into that timeslot. Hence --> take a day off.
All the best with your interviews.
Cheers,
Florian
