If during a behavioral interview, the interviewer asked technical questions (and caught you off guard), are you doomed?

I hate the terms "behavioral vs technical" interviews. An interview is supposed to gauge the completeness of a candidate. Always be prepared for technicals in any interview

If it caught you off guard and you didn't know the answer, then their interview worked

Can't really share this with anyone else, so thank you fellow fish for indulging. 3 years in, finally at a point where I can comfortably work 40 hours a week the last quarter+, and still be a trusted team member and major contributor. Normal tasks and collaborations now take me a fraction of the time compared to my first couple years / others on the team. 6 YOE and my TC has also gone up a lot from low 200s last year to high 200s this year. Hope to keep this optimal mix of WLB & progression 🙏
