The thing most folks don’t realize is that Computer Science isn’t Software Engineering. They’re related but distinct.
Software Engineering is a lot of the day to day work you do as software engineer. It’s more about people, process, execution. In reality, most problems you’ll encounter in day to day software engineering won’t be CS problems. Lots of CRUD-shaped apps of varying forms and sizes.
Occasionally, you’ll get a real CS shaped problem and those are fun.
As others say - refreshers worked well since you’ve already learned the material. Find some interesting books or ideas to explore and they’ll come back.
