I graduated with a CS degree and a minor in Web Services and Applications. Let me tell you that whilst those topics are useful, they were pretty tailored and if I'm being 100% honest, I don't even recall the majority of them.
My day to day job is piping APIs together and making sure we deliver features on time.
On the rare occasion that I need to use a data structure or an algorithm to optimize for Time Space complexity, I'll either use a community built package or a language level feature. I'll never invent my own because whatever I come up with will be half baked anyway.
Knowing all the above is useful for passing interviews but not much use in your everyday life unless you are doing something other than SWE such as R&D or data science.

Just my 2c.
