This has long been my dream job and I have alerts setup for when they're interviewing - but I don't feel I'll ever be smart enough or well rounded for this specific job. I left university a couple years ago and have been working in my first job (an ISP NOC) for about a year, but I just can't see myself ever getting to the skill level required for an SRE. That and I have crippling anxiety when it comes to interviews.

Ah well...

Something that not many people realize: interviewing is a skill that can be practiced and directly improved. The more interviews you do, the easier they get. You can also do dry runs - even just grabbing yourself a small 20" whiteboard and writing code and diagrams on it helps.

That's good advice, I always tend to focus on the skills and see an interview as something that is done ad-lib. I forget how much of it is prep and the actual practicing of interviews.
