I can only speak for CompSci, although when hiring I don’t give a shit if someone has the degree as I’d prefer to teach and have someone asking interesting/left of field questions - but lots of hiring people do care though and test you on the fundamentals.
Completely agreed on the practical aspect, but if you’re going for big San Fran cloud companies you’ll likely need to pass a leetcode challenge in the interview (pointless IMO) which means you better understand in detail low level data structures and algorithms. You’ll never need that detail day to day, but barrier to entry.
