You might need something one step below CLRS. Try a good CS2 book.

The only algorithms I use regularly at a boring blub coding job is quicksort and binary search. The only data structures I use are hashes, arrays, and binary trees. Other niche data structures like tries, Bloom filters, etc. are useful sometimes but 90% of the time it's a very small handful of techniques you're using.
