+100 to this. There is such a delta between interview skills (leetcoding, brushing up star formatting to suit target company values and leadership principles) and skills actually needed for a job that without mock interviews your success rates are significantly diminished. I know several folks who interview regularly just to not get rusty ... with interviewing! I blame commoditization of software engineering and plenty of NIH stack building!
