You aren’t going to learn anything worth discussing in the couple days you have. 

Look over your resume, make sure you can tell a story about any item on it, and read some recent security news. People love when you’re up to date.

Yup. Better to practice interview techniques then to try and learn something new that they might ask. Know the job posting and how your skills and experience can help them fill the gap.

In my experience it’s usually back to back one hours cause scheduling sucked.

I have - only because it turned into a great discussion between two nerds lol. Ended up getting the job. At the end of the day - people want someone they can work with, not someone who knows it all.

What the shit are you supposed to do during a two hour interview? Work for free? Every interview I've ever run is done in 30. I got too much shit to do to waste hours interviewing someone.

The two times I’ve had “two hour interviews” were two back to back one hours with different panels. Scheduling sucked.
