I’ve realized that confidence in interviews often comes from preparation, not personality. Anyone can build it. How do you prepare before interviews?

That's a good point, real confidence comes from knowing your subject and your material and being able to convey it clearly. To prep for interviews I've generally gone over what I suspect will be talked about, but I'm careful not to overprepare. I want to be thinking on my feet and not sounding robotic or rehearsed.

I maybe a bit of dork here, but I still go through leetcode questions before interviews just in case. Though I havent seen much of this lately. I mean Home Depot, really, youre asking me LeetCode questions 😆

This comment made me laugh so hard. Sometimes they do just copycat for the sake of doing like the famous companies do, while what they really need is someone who can translate the business need into a technical implementation effectively

This is a great suggestion, people often underestimate how structured and rigid interviews can be, one good way of practicing without sounding robotic is making mock interviews with a friend!

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min.

I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
