I'm not in the workforce yet (I'm a student) but i hope the situation improves before i finish Uni.
It will not.
They're going to be all "Answer me these riddles 30" with multiple two part questions that they won't give you enough time to write down so you can track what they're asking. And if you forget enough times you'll have to disclose you're neurodivergent and they may or may not awkwardly accommodate you. Be specific in your answers but not too specific, you need to have an example but not give details, be personable, smile, laugh but not too much. DONT HAVE RESTING BITCH/JERK FACE. Talk yourself up while remaining humble while they ask insanely specific esoteric questions about the nature of your soul but by God don't answer that question for real.
Dude interviews are fucking brutal. The best way to get through them is to be comfortable with your qualifications (they will sometimes test your knowledge on the spot) and roleplay as a ttrpg character with a high cha, int, and wis who has always resolved conflict in a healthy way (make sure to google what pop sci thinks is healthy conflict resolution at the time), and is always able to thread the needle between perfectionism (they don't want that) and "done enough".
Also these interviews will probably be on Teams. I haven't had an in person interview since 2015 when I was still in undergrad.
