I've recommended this to everyone I've mentored, even when I was their boss. Interviewing is a skill that can be honed. Some people are naturally better than others, but most people can at least get comfortable.

Up until recently I would take two or three interviews a year at minimum just to see what people were asking about, how they asked, and just to stay comfortable with the process.

Worst case scenario, they say no, and you might get a hint as to why. So now you have an idea of something you can improve on.

Best case scenario you wind up interested in a new company, get a raise, and learn something new.

Either way, it's time you're spending to improve your career- and it is likely more monetarily valuable than the same amount of time you would have spent writing code.
