I made the mistake of asking if there is another candidate interviewing.... they told yes and that the other person is also highly qualified. How do I not psych myself out?

Not a mistake. Plus of course there is. Now you know. And apparently they also think you are highly qualified. Of course there are other candidates. Doesn’t change a thing. Go win.

You should always assume there are other highly-qualified candidates interviewing for any role.

There are ALWAYS other candidates! It's not even a question. Just like you're applying/interviewing at multiple companies. Good luck!

It’s a test! They just wanna see how you handle the flames before dipping you in the liquid lava of hell 👹😈
