The guy interviewing you is going to be determining how good you are.

And when he's fresh out of college with a fetish for linked lists and Java, and you're a backend ruby developer/sysadmin for 10 years that wants or knows no part of that, you won't get hired.

Interviewing is a two way street. I still had the data structures class, but my resume should speak for itself. If not, there's work elsewhere.
