Often doesn’t matter. Fancy degree gets an interview in this job market. Not, “I read a bunch for free.”
The explosion of stacks means it’s hard to keep everything in your head at once. Lookup is routine but will sink you as a candidate.
Personally not great under the gun in adversarial interviews, so my extensive self learning is not well highlighted.

IME companies are perfectly happy for their employees to spend deliberate time learning how to be better at their job, and this is actually usually even formalized as a written expectation.
