      I'm one of four people I know of who fails interviews at a high enough rate that I could fail 20 in a row (and I believe I have). AFAICT, the only trait the four of us have in common is extreme nervousness in interviews.https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1058019605413748737 …

      Want to become an engineer not a PM? Try flunking your way out of 20 engineering interviews. (It’s almost literally impossible to, given how bad the industry is at interview calibration.)

      I'd never thought about it this way before (look at who gets rejected and see what they have in common), but I guess there's one thing interviews are pretty good at filtering for: people who are a certain type of nervous in interviews.

          I'm not the greatest when it comes to tech interviews. I always get this feeling I barely pass when I do. Turns out, I've never had issues at any of my jobs. In fact, stellar performance revs. Correlating solving whiteboard problems to future perf can deter passionate people away

          By nature, I am an introvert. In the interviews I suspect that introverts have a tendency to defer to the interviewer due to not trying to come off egotistical. I think this contributes to the illusion of being too nervous, or borderline incompetent, but we know what we're doing.

          I have tricks to being less nervous. I always interview for two jobs at once, so I'm okay failing out of either interview. I thoroughly research the company (finances, culture, github, website, white papers etc) the interviewers (if I get names). Would any of those help you?

          I'm nervous around people in general, interviews make it worse. Sometimes googling the people you are talking to makes them seem like you know them better. Finding YouTube videos really helps!

          Once hired someone that clearly was the world's worst interviewee. Great recommendations but could barely respond to questions. Forgot almost everything they new. It helped that it was obviously the interview process that was the problem. Wonderful coworker.

          @patio11 I've found that it's very difficult, if not impossible, to fight interviewing methods of tech companies. It's akin to asking someone to change what they are looking for in a date; it doesn't really happen. I prefer to work with the system instead. Slowly but surely.

          Or those coming in from non-CS non-US universities. I still haven’t cracked amzn/fb/msft tech interviews.
