> I'm also sure to fail googlable technical questions so I was wondering how others might approach this.

I would do the minimal amount of studying that's required to pass this hurdle, and then you'll probably be great at acing the rest of the interview.

Pretty much no matter how good you are, you're going to have to pass some classic interview problems, so it's worth the hoop jumping investment. Leetcode is a good place to start on algo problems

Also would recommend refining your pitch / resume to 2-3 large technical problems you've worked on and the outcomes of those. Something a hiring manager reads and thinks "okay they know what they're doing". "Jack of all trades" is sufficiently vague for them to be like "i have no idea what this person works on"
