Aren't bigger companies also looking for people who have a solid foundation in algorithms/data structures? Since most of my work has been in hardware, I haven't had a chance to apply these concepts extensively. Which bigger companies would you recommend given my past experience? I also feel that all I need is a chance and then I will learn and adapt as is expected by the job and the company. Is this something most other people also feel?
