Part of my current work involves designing & implementing pretty intricate & complex algorithms. Earlier I did research & published in a range of ML related sub-fields, primarily NLP & recommender systems. I also read CS papers for pleasure and code in multiple languages. Yet, if I gave engineering interviews impromptu I am pretty sure I will fail many of them. It's a weird situation in the industry when an experienced person has to go through a bootcamp to revisit/ memorize rather trivial stuff to get a job for which he may well be overqualified.
