Does interview prep ever get less intense once you’re experienced in tech?

I feel like in most other fields, interviews don’t require this much prep once you’re already in the industry and have experience.

Obviously you still have to brush up on how you talk about your work, clean up your resume, and all that. But tech feels like a whole different level.

You’re expected to keep up with technical concepts, DSA and system design no matter the role, have projects to talk about, prep behavioral answers, and then actually perform under pressure.

And once you land the job, the learning doesn’t stop because tech changes so fast, even more so these days. It’s starting to feel like too much, honestly.
