- the interviewer at FAANG is that the technical interview holds the same weight as other non-technical rounds (not sure if he's BSing me) and for good reasons.

Not true. I know someone in high ops of these things. For G I an A I can attest, you have to give the best runtime solution, otherwise its a NO.

Thanks for confirming! Have always been doubtful.

Take it with a grain of salt, Google has slowly been valuing the behavioral interview more.

Anecdotally Facebook and Apple value them equally to technical interviews, if not more.
