I recently had a coding interview and it was a disaster. The annoying thing is it was actually a super simple question and I had done a lot of preparation, and had solved a similar issue in my actual job just by chance a couple weeks before. So it started out great.
But instead of acing it an issue cropped up in the coding pad which I had to try and debug, which threw me off guard. The interviewers had muted their mic and were chatting away and my nerves just crumbled and I ended up profusely sweating into my eyes, I literally had sweat going into my eyeballs. I just turned into a bit of a mess, which is strange for me as I'm normally quite confident.
I think if the interviewers were a bit more involved it may have gone better. But I ended up just not finishing in time feeling like I had wasted everyone's time.
