why there is so much to learn for java developer ? Cracking interview is tough.You need be wellversed with all the things in world database devops java with its n no of versions DSA cloud and list goes on.You are not expected to do a single mistake in interview and after all this struggle you will not be working on greenfield projects.I personally feel its too much to prepare for interviews and many rejections will follow before selection.
Please post your optimistic approach.

Man there is so much to learn because in day to day we have to complete tasks, whereas we lack the concepts part in depth or breadth of it . Interviews are taken by people like us only , I believe interviewing is a skill that everyone doesn't possess, because its a way to communicate with the person sitting in front and to ask questions with which he is comfortable with. But often I have seen is interviewers taking the wrong way, say you are not good at something so an ideal interviewer should divert from that topic and head to something else which we are comfortable with, but I gave lots of interviews 4-5 months back and understood that many interviewers at this point ask questions which they find we'll not be able to answer, I myself faced issues with Angular, since didn't had time to go through concepts, and while introducing I didn't say Angular as my techstack and interviewer exploited that weakness and asked questions around it the whole time. So I believe there are multiple things that we might not know, but if the interviewer is good and understanding we surely will give our best, but if you dont know something just say No I dont recall it currently.
Its never about giving interviews with 100% answers but its about telling about things you know crystal clear to the interviewer and try to answer most of the questions. Because what you answer creates a picture onn interviewers head that what you are good at.
Mostly answering above 70% would do the trick and also many a times if you answer 50% you. Might be selected based on the answers you give.
In a interview dont calculate that oh I missed answering this that and get demotivated, because you never know on what toppic the interviewer wants more answers on and if it fits in your areas just give it your best, never get excited if you know something stay calm, formalize in your mind what'll you'll be saying, keep words simple.

Ii'll suggest also you go through the links that I've shared below, those really helps in evaluating how a interview flow goes and accordingly you can prepare yourself
Yeah but the thing is if you know java 8 then u r expected to know java 17.If you havr worked on docker oh u didnt know kubernates.You havent worked on elk rabbit reddis.If u have used sql then u will be asked why not nosql.If you answer i didnt get chance to work on it but i learned it from my own.Then they will ask question like u r well versed with it.DSA is never ending topic.Solving code is mere luck.This pisses me off to the core.Kitna bhi padhlo kam hi reh jata h

Dont worry man, its more about mentality, There are interviewers who understand us based on what we say and some are there who think if we know something we should know the latter too. Interviewers should also be taught what to ask or some training surely is required but noone does it.
