I deeply regret clicking this. I've never worked with FAANG however I've been through 5-6 interviews. The way I see it, it's material that can be studied/recalled but you can make much more difference in your life with that amount of energy, unless you're a new graduate OR your job is interviewing other people. I understand the side effects that study can bring on to help ease the pain, though it won't work if you only rely on knowledge alone. That's where experience/context helps. Just be aware that fangs are not a measure of what a best software engineering can be, they're the ones make use of their branding well as a high entry wall. So please do yourself a favor and don't take the harsh to your heart, keep enjoying what you do.
