Big Tech is hard. Even if you can get an interview you're competing against so many people it's not likely you will get in (statistically). But let's rephrase what you're asking to "I want to get good/better offers" - the process you need to go through to get those is the same as to get into FAANG.
Namely - drill hard on job interviews. You can get good offers from smaller businesses - those will usually actually test your skills as an actual software developer, so make sure you are skilled. If you want more famous names the interviews tend to be more algorithmic.
So what is the problem - is the problem your resume isn't actually yielding any interview opportunities? In that case consult with an HR pro, you will need to embellish your resume a bit.
If the problem is you're getting interviews but not passing - drill as I said. It's also a matter of luck so you just have to keep trying.
FAANG is a nice goal to have, I don't want to dissuade you from trying, just keep in mind many many people want to be there and there isn't room for everyone. There's plenty of good jobs outside of FAANG.
Another thing that can really help is having a thing that separates you from the crowd - a good Github profile, a good technical blog or even a good Stackoverflow profile (it actually helped me get an offer as the manager was impressed I had a nice Stackoverflow score).
