Walking through an ordinary day

Question

Talk me through what a typical day looks like for you.

Short answer

Show organisation and energy. Briefly sketch how you structure your day (classes or work, study blocks, exercise, side projects or market reading) and how you prioritise when demands clash. Interviewers are checking time management and drive, so be realistic rather than claiming a superhuman schedule.
