> even when companies thought I was technically excellent and a good cultural fit, they rejected in favor of candidates with closer matching professional experience This sounds like companies giving less than honest feedback. We would never pass up on a technically strong candidate, regardless of their background. I'd brush up on algo/data structures and give it another try. |

1. Half a dozen companies being dishonest in exactly the same way is tough to believe. It's too much coincidence. I don't see a reason for dishonesty in that area. Technically insufficient solutions should be easy to explain as a rejection reason.
2. Having attended the interviews in question, I rarely choked on that kind of question and earned plenty of praise from interviewers with little assistance. I'm not long out of school and typically have a knack for those kinds of problems. While I can't see how strict the standards are and what the other candidates are like, I'm not seeing the negative feedback that indicates improvement needed.
