Yes, interview stress is completely different. You have to commit a pretty egregious offense on the job to get fired on the spot, but literally anything you do during a job interview can cause you to lose the job.

It's extremely common for people to be nervous when meeting strangers but fine among associates. This is such a blatantly obvious empirical fact, it mystifies me how the tech industry can act as if this phenomenon does not or should not exist.
