I explained to one of my neighbors, who's not in the industry, job searching in software dev is like the nightmare where you forgot that you had a college final and you haven't studied.
I explained to my cousin who does Power engineering, "Imagine I fail you for inability to solve hard calculus problems from sem 1 of college on a whiteboard, even though you don't need any more than basics".
He said, "I'd never subject myself to such crap interviewers"
