Hey, I’m working as developer 8 years, and I changed company a couple times, and it was just luck every time, I ruined 90% of tech interviews, but in regular work I can do a lot of things, like invent some solutions, learn new things very quickly, but in interviews I’m absolute loser What can you advise me? How can I better pass job interviews?

Practice. Use pramp.com. Do super super simple ones. If you can't do two sum or fizzbuzz or tree traversals with someone watching you, you're not going to have a prayer for harder stuff. Just start SUPER simple. Pracitce a lot.

It should be muscle memory to do the easy stuff. And then it turns out, the 'hard' questions are often just a combination of easy things.
