How to prepare for switch?

I saw so many comments that since Oracle is planning layoffs employees are updating their resume on different sites and have started applying. My question isn’t first step study/preparation? Or are all of you just smart that you don’t need any prep time? For me I’ve been studying since a past few days 1-2 hours a day After I feel a but confident I’ll start with resume updation but you guys are just directly there already. Like no leet code grind or no topics revision? I get that some of you are going to be preparing in between and some will just wing it until they crack one but in today’s time when job postings are less, is it feasible anymore ? What if you get an interview call and don’t crack it because you weren’t prepared?🥺

Just trying to understand how to proceed from here. Any advice/suggestions are welcome

If you play games, I'll give you an analogy. You'll feel like avoiding Margit in elden ring until the point where you have to face him and there's no way back.
In Days Gone, you'll want to skip all the hordes until the point where you have to face the iron butte horde. Interviews will give you a reality check but more than that it'll boost your confidence. You'll realise that what you're being asked is nothing special and it all boils down to the fundamentals for the most part. You'll start noticing patterns. So go on and face your Margit the Fell Omen. Git good son.

@AngryHerbs9 Can you refer me at Oracle? I can refer you at Deloitte USI if you want.

It's okay to fail and feel guilty that you could have prepared better. The truth is you can never be fully prepared for an interview. I had similar setbacks and never was able to attend an interview due to fear of rejection. I didn't know where to start from and what to work upon. Attending an interview without any prep gave me insights on what is expected. I jotted down all the questions and started practicing them. I failed 4 interviews, but I gathered all the questions. The 5th was a walk-in and I was able to crack it. Your resume and prep gets better with every interview. Don't aim to crack the first ever interview for your switch. Just show up and be honest.
