I can't help you with passing interviews, but if you really are high-conscientiousness (and smart enough to do at least averagely well academically), then there's probably a place for you in industry. The industry has plenty of brilliant-but-unconscientious developers; I'm sure many companies would benefit from having more conscientious-but-not-brilliant developers to balance their team out.
Brilliance matters more in job interviews; conscientiousness matters more in the job itself.
- pbronez 5y agoI agree with this. There are lots of people who just want to heads down code all day. They need help from someone who understands what they're doing and can interface with a client. Tons of program management, product, and requirements jobs out there. Also consider sales and sales engineering. Sales people love having a more-technical side kick they can show off in polite company. You don't have to be that smart or that technical to outclass 80% of coin operated commission chasers...
