Want to really emphasise on not stressing yourself too much. On my Superday, we were 8 candidates with 3 being taken. The 5 who where eliminated were constantly reading some notes they had written, which I believe made them very stiff in the interviews. I mean if you are well prepared you won’t need that shit and believe me, interviewers will notice. Just be relaxed in your interview, get your technicals (e.g., 400 questions, Rosenbaum book, …), and don’t be afraid to tell them if you are unsure about something. Nothing worse than completely bullshitting. Prepare some good questions for the end (beyond pay, hours, etc. you should know that shit before). Try to position yourself as a chill and funny person to work with. I want to know whether I want to grab drinks with you after a stressful day as much as your technical knowledge. If you tick that box, interviewers might look over fumbling technical xyz, I mean most is learning on the job anyways.
