Google onsite interview coming up. did bad in the coding round on the linkedin onsite (couldnt optmize the recurrence relation of a dp problem) and my confidence is shot to hell. any tips for handling this anxiety? Edit: ended up getting offer! thanks for the advice and helpful suggestions!
Get a prescription for propranolol. It's a beta blocker, which lowers blood pressure and also acts as an antianxiety medication. Lasts about 2 hours and has the nickname "the speech drug" because of the number of people who take it to deal with stage fright. Interview anxiety is very similar (to your body) and it will help the interviewers see the normal you instead of freaked out you.
This ^^^ always struggled with it and this has been a game changer!
I also go this route, and this is so incredibly helpful in general when my anxiety reaches overwhelming levels. Highly recommend!
Marijuana?
CBD is better than THC if you just want the antianxiety without getting high. THC keeps me from holding a complex concept in my head. Not good for me in an interview.
Dude just take a step back and think about it. All you are doing is interviewing for some job. You are already lucky enough to have a good job and make good money. What you need to do is to just study well and give it your best shot and forget about the outcome. If you get it then awesome else just brush it off and try again. It's just a job. Do not spoil your health because of it. Your health >>> any job or interview.
Dude you nailed it! Currently in team matching and hiring committee review phase after a very long wait and I was getting so SO stressed out.
Good luck with that. Btw when you say very long wait, how long is that? And you waited that much time just to move to HC?
Learn to fail, trust me you’ll learn that you also have nothing to lose.
Which dp prob did you get asked?

Practice, practice, practice. Get a whiteboard and practice coding on it while presenting. Postpone your Google onsite if necessary.
