I'm pretty sure anyone able to pass a FAANG interview is well within the 1% of talent for our industry. Those things are brutal.

The interviews are brutal. But they don't consistently identify talent. I know a lot of people at all of them and turn down interviews nearly constantly (Apple is the only one I've considered - the rest violate my ethical standards. And I'm not going to commute to Cupertino).

There's a lot of deadweight at these companies.
