Sorry. I can totally relate and understand the challenging work environment. It’s tough to be a go-getter at work and also takes time for the GMAT. The best solution I’ve come up so far has been to study early in the morning before work starts and then take a small study break during lunch for 30 minutes and then read books at night. That is my recommended schedule for everyone basically and especially those who work a stressful day at work.

I'm in the same position too, and I'm following exactly what you've mentioned. I wonder if people who're juggling between work and GMAT prep take longer to get their target score (if the target score lies above 730 and they've started with a meager 40 percentile in their diagnostic test)? That's my current situation and I really need to hit R1 this year.

I also work at a similar firm and understand that it can get difficult at times. I've been following the early morning approach for almost a year now and have been able to get a 720. I'm still aiming for more though. Perhaps cutting out on a few non productive things such as netflix, social media, etc might free up more time and energy. Cutting out might result in more study time or more sleep and both the things would benefit you. Most of the people that take the GMAT are working professionals so I'm pretty sure you can do it!

All the best, I hope you get to where you want to be! :)
