Does this ever get old? From what I've seen, former FAANG hires get paraded around like some exotic pet at some smaller companies. It's kind of cringy as an onlooker. I once worked at a place with executives who had "hire 3 people from google" as a KPI.

It's cringey as hell, but from a "making my career" perspective, it's clearly valuable to many in charge of hiring.
