I’ve felt what I learned in my CS degree has been sufficient to allow me to perform well in leetcode interviews.

The harder leetcode interviews I've had, I definitely was not prepared for simply from college material. Some companies really throw the kitchen sink at you.

The more reasonable coding interviews I've had, on the other hand, I could have solved before even going to college. Those companies were (rightfully) just trying to get a sense for whether you can write and debug code in the real world, not memorize algorithms.
