Need Sage Advice - Interview Anxiety
Just got done with an 2 on 1 MM IB first round...and I'm fucking shaking. Momma didn't raise a bitch, but dude wtf. It's embarrassing to know the answer to a question, and when asked; you draw a blank. I get a lump in my throat and shit just goes down hill from there.
I'm not anxious once I settle in, and in fact do extremely well when "comfortable", but I seem to fold under interview pressure. I know these interviews can be pivotal for your career, so I take them seriously and prepare accordingly.
In other aspects of life that require confidence I'm an absolute dog though, no doubt about it.
Fellow chimps - any advice?
Get beta blockers and practice. Once you get rid of fear of failure and do a few interviews that stuff will go away.
Happens man don't beat yourself up
Never thought about beta blockers, I'll try it out

You had me up until the last part
Do more mock interviews until this doesn't happen. Don't just do mocks with friends, ask alum connections you've chatted before as well.
