Keep doing your best. I am not often involved in interviews but when I am I look more at how an applicant handles the situation more so than looking for a technically correct answer. Well except for the questions that cover fundamental knowledge. I expect those to be answered correctly. Regarding the tweet scenario - if you don’t know a specific answer tell them that but also reach back into your experience and describe to the interviewers of a similar challenge that you succeed with and how you solved that. The floor is yours to convey your strengths and passion. With that said I would personally hate to have to go looking for work. I am a sysadmin who honestly wears too many hats to be an expert in any particular field. Most of my knowledge is institutional and my expertise is very focused on the areas I need to know. Another thing I have learned during interviews is to look for someone that comes across as genuine and caring. That goes a long way in a team environment. As far as quitting the industry only you can answer that. To me passion is key to both excelling at and enjoying your profession.
