I'm lead dev on a rather large frontend project, and I still feel like I'd struggle in a frontend-focused interview today. Underappreciated by many I think is the ability to solve problems. I solve them (almost) every day, but sometimes it's easy, and sometimes it's really tough. But eventually, if you know how to ask the right questions, you'll get to a workable answer. That kind of real-world experience doesn't seem to surface well in a typical interviewer/interviewee type setting.

And once you are a lead you are doing less of the stuff day to day that would make you shine in a coding interview. Especially the ones where “we need a c# engineer so let’s dust off those weird exception handling edge cases again and test on it” when in real life you look it up or run a unit test over it (better!)
