How I learned to stop worrying and love the tech interview

After finding a job and some reflecting, I felt compelled to write this post. Why? Because almost everyone I know stresses out during the interview process.

My greatest weakness is that I don’t know how many ropes you need to burn to make manhole covers square.

The short list of reasons why interviews suck

1. Feelings of imposture syndrome and insecurities… fear of rejection?
2. Time commitment and bending to other people’s scheduling constraints/inabilities
3. Distracting financial situations, if not already working
4. LinkedIn and obnoxious recruiters
5. Lack of control during the process
