Same situation as you. Currently work full time in healthcare and I feel like I don’t have enough time to practice my coding skills and job search. Every interview I’ve had I have been so anxious (and just possibly a bit burned out) that I forget how to do things that I know how to do. Eventually it should wear off I figure but here’s hoping for something in health tech where I can speak the language and feel more confident! We can do this!!

I was the exact same way with technical interviews and then all of a sudden it clicked for me. I entered a video technical interview after spending the whole hour before crying over getting rejected by another company and just feeling that terrible "I'm never going to be enough" thought. I thought I'd do terrible during the interview, but it was my best yet. I stayed so calm. It was like I finally hit that point of thinking "they'll like you or they won't. Don't be stressed over it".

Good luck trying to find a job in health tech!!! If you ever need any help with anything, please reach out. I'd love to help.
