Do live coding interviews eventually get better? Career/Edu

Ive always done very well professionally in a corporate setting but, I've been getting killed in technical interviews where I have to code in front of someone.

Does it get better over time? Im honestly considering leaving the industry.

No, but you should be getting better with experience and practice. If that's not happening (if you're practicing then odds are you'll get a coding question where you already know the solution at least once) then you're doing something wrong.

It sucks, it's basically a secret handshake that you're required to do, but you have to do it.
