A) Ok. That's my situation, so I will not disagree with it.

B) I've only had one whiteboard technical interview ever, and I passed it. I've read and practiced Programming Interviews Exposed; and I've practiced up to and including trees in CtCI. Studying coding problems barely helps for the type of companies I get interviews at. My whiteboard consisted of nothing like CtCI; it was simple string parsing with the help of library functions.
