No man, definitely don't give up like this. Try going on CrunchBase/AngelList and looking for companies that recently got big funding rounds and apply to work there. The bar of admission will be lower because they're eager to spend. Try new job boards like Hired/White Truffle that aren't as flooded.

Have you asked your friends/college classmates/college professors/alumni relations department for leads? If you haven't, start doing that YESTERDAY.

Also see if you can talk to some recruiters: They can meet you, see your personality, and then socially massage the hiring manager in your favor before/after your interview.

Finally, worst case scenario, suck up the cash/time hit and hire a career/interviewing coach or go back to school and get a M.S. to punt this stressful situation into the future.

If you love programming and have a C.S. degree, you can have a job soon. Maybe if you're bad at interviewing you won't get the most prestigious one, but you'll get one.
