Is this expected after long period in one company or am I just bad?

So I'm automation tester with about 5 years of experience, a couple of months ago I've started applying to other companies for position of automation tester, due to changing politics in my current company and overall unsatisfaction with my position. In that time I've had 5-6 technical interviews. And holy shit am I bad at it.

I was kind of expecting that I'd need to upskill, but I didn't recognize of how much I don't know. I usually do fine with the testing related questions, but things related to programming languages, principles, CI/CD, or even frameworks which I used, which is mostly Playwright and Selenium, these questions I fail on a lot of the times. Not mentioning the leetcode type exercises which are stressing as hell, I get some of them right, but still need a lot of practice.

Anyone got that same "clash with reality" after you started interviewing for new companies? Not gonna lie sometimes after these interviews I just feel like I don't know shit about automation lol

So you're supposed to lean in your upper body in the corner, not before entering it?

So I'm pretty new to track riding, last time I was on the track my instructor told me that you're supposed to actually lean your upper body IN the corner, not before it? It kinda shattered my whole worldview, I always thought that you position your whole body before significantly leaning the bike in. Can someone please explain to me the logic and point of doing it that way, also when exactly should I lean in my upper body?

Just asking since when going through leaderboards on tracktitan for brands hatch, I've noticed that cars in ACC usually have 2-3 seconds faster lap times than the ones in AC. E.g. ACC for BMW M4 GT3 2022 best time is 1:21.812, in AC best time for BMW Z4 GT3 is 1:24.091. Any reason for that or just less people record laps in AC?
