The only thing that matters is data structures and algorithms. If you cant master those, you wont get far/your pay is forever capped and should move into management or another career entirely.

Yep, the best advice a software developer can get is to optimise for what interviews are selecting for.

That seems bizarre to me. Perhaps in generalized see roles at certain companies in certain locations and when you are grinding the interview process, but how do you feel it applies as a progression in skill alone?
