Learn Farsi: من دیروز مصاحبه داشتم، پس استرس داشتم. - I had an interview yesterday, so I was stressed.

pas means 'so' or 'therefore' and links a cause to its result. You could absolutely use banâbarin here to mean the exact same thing, but pas is much more common and natural in everyday spoken Farsi. banâbarin can sound a bit formal for just chatting about a stressful day.

Why does the Farsi say esteres dâshtam instead of using a word for 'was'?

In Farsi, many physical and emotional states are expressed with the verb dâshtan (to have). Literally, this says 'I had stress'. This is the standard and most natural way to say 'I was stressed' in Farsi.

Is it okay that the pronoun man (I) isn't repeated in the second half of the sentence?

Yes, it is actually preferred! Because the verb dâshtam ends with the first-person suffix -am, it is already perfectly clear that 'I' am the one who was stressed. Repeating man after pas would sound a bit clunky and unnatural.

What kind of interview is a mosâhebe?

mosâhebe is the general word for 'interview'. It is the perfect word for a job interview, but you can also use it for media interviews, university admissions, or visa appointments.
