Did I ever feel that interviews are competitive? Not really, I just present myself to an employer the best way I can but honestly and without faking it, and beyond that it's "take it or leave it". I don't really fret about being in a "competition" with whoever else.

But yes, if there are 115 serious (qualified) candidates for one job then you can indeed call it "competition". That's an unenviable 'market' to be in, I know that in some locations there's a developer shortage but this doesn't look like it.
