There is a different world out there where people study months and months all kinds of academic problems to get a grunt position at the major ad companies.

You're insinuating FAANG = ad companies?

FAANG = Facebook, Apple, Amazon, N, Google.

Who's 'N'? If it were an 'M', I would imagine Microsoft, but nothing comes to mind except 'Netflix', which I don't consider to be on par with the rest of the group by any means.

This acronym makes zero sense and covers companies with wildly different interviewing practices.
