Whiteboarding is a skill that the vast majority of people will have to work to obtain. It's not the natural way that we work.
Personally, if you know you're going to be interviewing, start practicing for whiteboarding. There are books and online resources available to help you get at least comfortable with it. The resources also help drive home that whiteboarding should be about process, not about perfect solutions.
Algorithms have generally taken years to perfect by PhDs, why should you be expected to perfect an algorithm you haven't memorised in 30 minutes?
- Namrog84 11y agoDo that many places ask you to perfect an algorithm or solution? Most places me and my friends have done typically just want any brute force solution with some discussion as potential ways one might improve or discussion on why this might not be ideal without having better ideas. And this is from top places and offers. And were from non top schools.
