Nah homie. Personally, I'd rather leave an interview with a confidence high than feel like I did "okay" (or just straight up bad) and let the rejection knock me down even lower. You can be realistic AND confident. Own it. You're in control of interviews more than you think!
maybe i just have shit self esteem, but i've always found it crazy that some people are so confident in having gotten the job after interviews. like brother bear you're the best but you don't know that; for all you know, they could have interviewed jesus himself.
yeah totally—i'm slowly getting back to that point. i can be confident and feeling good leaving an interview but i think the unknowns from my side of things makes me temper my expectations for afterwards.
I've had interviews I thought went well result in rejection and ones I thought I bombed actually be fine so.. I basically expect nothing
yeah, this is exactly me and the latter happened recently so what i've learned is just be you and fuck it we ball, because feelings mean nothing 🤙
