Why do you necessarily want to work at a FAANG company? There are plenty of other fine organizations that pay reasonably well and don't have such a high interview bar. Perhaps you should consider a non-tech company (e.g. retail, healthcare, real estate, hospitality et cetera) that uses technology versus creates technology. The bar will be lower and the pay should be decent but not exceptional.
