My brain is WRECKED been interviewing for DevOps/SRE (supposed to be jr/mid level but most are sr)positions and the amount of questions and challenges they give me have my brain tapping out
Just finished a 2 hour tech interview and I was messing up questions that I know I would've answered correctly if I wasn't mentally drained
System design for over a million users
Design a algorithm to figure out the highest nth number in a server
Giving me expert coding challenges from leetcode
Why do these tech interviews have to be so intense
Had a take home test that included terraform and aws. Thought that it was going to be a breeze but i played myself what I had was sufficient enough and I coded it in a way that the head engineer was impressed with...luckily for me he had to leave for a family emergency..a few more minutes in and wouldve saw that my tests weren't working
Also had another interview that tested me on bash scripting and I bombed it...but somehow I still moved onto the next round
I guess this is a sign to keep on going because I left the tech world for close to two years and was ready to put it behind me
Brehs here are some free Udemy courses to cop while they are available. I hope this is the correct forum to post this. I think they are good for a few more hours.

In the process of converting a legacy application to use Maven. Used it on my last project to build Docker images and some Kubernetes configurations. Powerful when you take the time to understand it.
long shot but is anyone here a freelancer or can give me some advice?
So I'm currently in early talks with someone wanting help with completing their ios app and web app struggling a bit with how much I should charge(My team of developers will be doing the work) I also have yet so see any of the codebase or spoken to the old developer and the owner has 0 technical knowledge so im a bit worried it might not even be worth taking this project
The functionality he wants to add are ranked in order in terms of importance and I have highlighted the ones I think in blue could be a bit of problematic if there shytty code, everything else seems fairly simple add new page, change order pricing logic etc. Anyone have any opinion on what else could be a problem and also hours it would be needed to add the features?
1.Complete iOS Mobile App

He is not sure exactly what technology stack was used to build his web app or his ios app so I'm trying to chase the old developer but he reckons it was the flowing below. I've highlighted what I think could be problematic in blue. The rest, Vue,Node seems pretty standard tbh
Vue Developer with experience using Dokku for app deployment for Front End.
Node experience for Server side / backend
Postgresql experience for managing and extending database functionality Experience using and extending functionality of custom Node API
VPS management and maintenance. Experience Using Cordova combined with Vue to build Mobile Apps.
If there is too much fukkery with the code think im going to have to turn this down
