FAANG is an investor term for people who want to throw money at the tech bubble. If, as a developer, you are not offered equity to work there I would forget that term as what you are really doing is brand name shopping for vanity.

> so I haven't had strong classes about CS fundamentals

I wouldn't worry about that. Most developers either treat their undergrad CS education like a weak trade school they don't take seriously, or are preparing for further education.

Honestly, it sounds like you are shopping for buzzwords in preparation from some future job interview. I would instead focus your energy on solving hard problems and building valid experience.
