Was this a FAANG or FAANG-like company where it's likely you'd have TC of $350K plus, or a sub-FAANG company where your TC would likely be in the $100-200K range?

Lol not at all. It was regular run of the mill startups and small companies. TC like ~$150k-180.

It's interesting to me. When the carrot is TC of $350K+++, sure, anyone is willing to jump through that grinder. But for ordinary run-of-the-mill companies, there are so many that _don't_ have a hazing-like hiring process, I don't know how the ones that do make it.

Maybe the first time, but I'm well above that mark now and I'd sooner retire early or switch industries over studying leetcode again.
