Honestly no. I’m preparing to interview with a big company that I’ve been interning with and I’m suffering pretty bad imposter syndrome. I’m terrified of technical interviews, because I’m worried of being called out on things I don’t know and realizing I might not be as qualified and knowledgeable as I think I am.
