I'm beginning to suspect that when I'm being compared to the competition in the market, hirers are going with the safer bets (CS degrees, internships, previous corporate experience). If this were true, you wouldn't make it to the interview. How did you think you did during these interviews? If you thought it went well, but they passed, maybe it's just a matter of cultural fit. Keep trying and you'll find something.

The interviews with algorithms questions I probably don't do as well. But there were a few without those, and I felt I did good. One thing I might be answering poorly on is process experience "Are you familiar with Agile? Do you write unit tests? What's your experience working in teams?".
