If a FAANG's fundamental bottleneck is people, then the money should first be spent on improving the hiring pipeline. If traditional pipeline sources are insufficient or non-compliant, that means building their own pipeline sources - in-house degree or certification programs. The most well-known case study is the military, which runs all of its own training, the question is only whether a) a given FAANG company has reached an organizational scale where this makes sense and b) how to tinker with the military's model given that the military relies on people not leaving after finishing training but only after enough value has been extracted from their education.
