Introductory preview

You have solved 150 LeetCode problems. You can design a distributed system on a whiteboard. You have rehearsed your stories until they are polished. Then you sit down in the interview, your mind goes blank, and you forget how to reverse a string. Sound familiar? Technical preparation is necessary but not sufficient. The gap between a prepared candidate and a confident one is psychological — and that gap is trainable. This lesson gives you the mental tools to perform under pressure.
