When you're coding in front of someone on a whiteboard do any of you get too much anxiety? I just had an on-site where while I gave the right solutions, I was anxious and uncertain about my answer, displaying noticable anxiety until I had fully ran through test cases. I'm worried I may have appeared to my interviewers as lacking confidence. Any of you face anything similar? How do you deal with it? Interviewers: is a nervous /anxious candidate a cause for concern for you?

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
Smoking works for me. YMMV.
Weed or tabacco?
No weed. Any regular unflavoured cigarette is good. Smoke it until it hits and then stop! At this point you're all calm down. Excessive smoking can slow your brain. Have a good judgement on how much to consume.
I am a complete spaz in front of a whiteboard 🤷🏻♂️ but f**k it still lucky enough to land F/G, so iono man pray your interviewer is also a spaz
😂
These aren’t really nice, unless you are receiving guidance.
Thank me later https://www.drugs.com/comments/propranolol/for-performance-anxiety.html Good luck!
Thanks. Did you try it? How was your experience?
Read the reviews in the link I sent. I have tried it and works everytime.
It's fine. In my case, the more I practiced the more confident I was. But still, i was dead nervous during my Microsoft onsite. I asked for feedback to each interviewer AND they all say that i performed really good but I was nervous. I asked couple of friends at FAANG and they all told me that it Is normal. Most of the candidates are. If companies measure their skill by not being nervous, then they will probably hire no one. Don't stress it. As someone here said, worst case: they wont hire you and you will do better next time.
Try beta blocker
Don't drink more than a cup of coffee ( and drink a latte or some diffused form of coffee ) if you are used to consuming coffee. I learned that overcafinnation hampers your performance in an interview. I was jiterry af throughout. As for calming the nerves down, Sleep well the night before. That is by far the most underrated but valuable thing you can do
No. Just do your best. Take a deep breath. Worst thing is that you won’t get the job and that is not that bad. You’ll be better next time. So, deep breath and rock the interview!
