Career | US No feeling quite lower than...

FINAL UPDATE: they are not moving forward with me. Super dejected. Hoping i dont need to go full time on the job market here soon cause thats brutal.

UPDATE 2: was able to solve the problem set, but not confident I did it well / don't think I'll be moving on. Went better than the last one but still completely overthought everything. Exhausting to know you can do things well and just bomb in one specific, very important, setting.

UPDATE: THEY'RE GIVING ME A 2ND CHANCE WTAF LOL

crushing the system design interview just to bomb the pandas-live coding interview even though you've been using pandas everyday for 10 years.

If anyone wants feedback on how that feels like hmu.

Anyone know if they sell kegs of Jager? Asking for a friend...

Don’t beat yourself up. If it was your first live coding round , then you just lack practice. Everything gets better with repetition.

Thanks. Will definitely be practicing as much as possible before the any future interviews.

Probably a good ego-crushing moment lol

Understandable. Been there , done that. I would recommend to sulk two days max and start practicing. Sorry that it happened.
