I've had six first-round interviews in the last couple of months. I turned down one offer that was a significant pay cut (they were not transparent about pay until the offer stage). Other than that, I get hit with a "pass" after interviewing -- if I'm not ghosted completely! I really thought I interviewed well in each situation, but clearly something is "off" with my approach. What strategies/advice have fellow FGBs found helpful?

Practicing with friends and colleagues that are higher up than I am and regularly hire for their departments.
I get great feedback and excellent tips on improving.

One thing to keep in mind is that the media headlines are all doomsday reports of falling valuations, tech lay-offs and inflation. Many companies will simply pause hiring in the coming months.
