> Is whiteboard interviewing so bad that people would go out of their way to avoid it? Yes. If you have problems with anxiety or imposter syndrome its a special kind of hell - especially when you go in absolutely able to do the work and being qualified, and then getting a hard no on the basis of "you're not a good enough programmer". Even for someone without an ego to be harmed, it feels like a cruel and arbitrary way to determine your future financial and societal well being.
