Dude feel for you man. I still remember after finishing college I was rejected from 6 interviews, because when I told them I stutter, the entire conversation switched to my stuttering, like do I do meditation, is it genetics, etc. I got so pissed of that they don’t care about my technical skill but my stuttering. After that I got into the phase of self doubt and did badly in my next couple of interviews. After that through self reflection I got the experience as to what to say and what not to say. One of the interviewer was such a sweet lady that made me feel so comfortable that it was my best interview experience, after the interview I asked her that did u feel that I was not confident enough on my answers because I was stuttering. She said that was not the case and she found my answer and my body language to be very good. After that I cracked got the job and that was the confidence I needed. After which I cracked few more interviews and finally working in my dream company.
