FAANG interview is all about leetcode problems. Where your competition has already extensively studied the problem sets. If you cant get it the first time, and spend 15 minutes on bad solutions as you work through it, its a rejection. FAANG wants you to show up with near optimal solutions.

I went to a FAANG interview today without preparing and was asked 7 leetcoding problems across 5 interviews. Even the behavioral one included a leetcode problem.

Most interviewers seemed to give an easy problem followed by a medium/hard. I think I succeeded, purely based on years of doing leetcode in the past and having a job at another FAANG-like.
