Hey all, I feel so shit at the moment. I’ve failed 8-10 interviews so far, out of job since a year. It seems like every interview they ask a totally different set of questions or scenarios. Whatever I prepare gets me maybe 50-60% of the way, rest are all new questions and I fuck up or I’m not able to fully give them an answer.
What makes me feel even worse is that, lot of people aren’t even getting calls at the moment and here I am speed-running every single opportunity to failure. I’m so done at the moment. No idea how to proceed or what to prep.
I saw a streak of 15 back to back rejections. The only way forward is to keep your head down, prepare and keep interviewing like its your last one.
What helped me was peer to peer mock interviews. And luck.
I do understand your situation. It would be extremely difficult, but this is the only thing I would do.
Are you failing dsa based interviews?
If yes go to pramp and practice mocks everyday. You get new question in that anyway.
It’s a mix of both DSA and Software engineering stuff. Too many things to recall & be ready with. I’d rather them give me something to build and I do it in front of them. But hey that’s not how interviews work so, at least not every round.
Thanks for the resource, I will check it out for DSA related stuff!
If you think you should know the answer to every question, you should set the questions yourself. That's not how interviews work? Then ig you'll never pass an interview
I'd rather hire someone who got caught with a few questions and maneuvered around it will than someone who gave prepared answers to every single question
Learn how to stay calm and think through a surprise question. Because it's not like you'll only get known things in your job. If you can't deal with new things, maybe you're not ready for this domain
I had failed 25 interviews at a stretch... But I used to focus and learn on things that I didn't know in my previous interviews .. Finally with all these learnings I cleared and got into a good company.. So don't get disappointed.. Take it as a step to learn and move forward...
Thank you, I am making a list post every interview. It’s getting frustrating since, every new interview they ask something I haven’t come across and I fumble. I will keep trying!
Hi folks, just dropping in to say that I have failed three interviews all of which that I had hoped to close.
I am in marketing so the answers in the interview aren't generally right or wrong. Different people perceive your answers dif...

So, I fucked up an interview real bad 2 days ago, and my mind is unable to process it and cannot forget about it.
Don't know why I am feeling worthless from inside and feeling like this was my last interview.
Maybe it's because of clo...
Hello grapeviners.

It can be a person/movie/promise/rejection/failure/betrayal/loss/expectation/relationship etc, it could be anything.
