Pretty much every time recruiter calls with feedback, “it was really close but...”.
Is this normal? 100% of phone screens have gone to onsite thus far.

One thing I did was to be organized about improving responses to questions. E.g., if I got a behavioral question I wasn't prepared for, I would write down an answer in a doc, so I would be fine next time.
Good luck!
I suggest, keep a bottle of water handy in those onsite interviews and take a sip of water before answering. Water always calms your nerves and will help you focus. If that is the problem.
I think you need to practice a bit more before going for more on-sites. Since, you are able to figure out the approach, your basics might be on the stronger side, but you need to practice as much as possible, on an actual compiler. Don’t look at the solution and then start typing. Infact, spend more time on each problem, and try to get to the actual solution, even if takes an hour. Overtime, you will start solving problems quicker!
I am saying this based on my experience being on both sides of an interview .
I feel most of the companies you have listed have that bias. You need to have SM background or ads background. There are very few managers who oils risk it and try some new perspective.
Hang in there! Something will work out.
