You are setting yourself up for failure with the "I want FAANG money & benefits" right from the get go. That happens to the top 1%, all other work their asses off or get lucky.

But I think you are doing your now not_future_colleagues a solid by giving up. If you are that square to think there is only one way to reach the "prestige, benefits and pay of Google" and that is by excelling at some Leetcoding pissing context: I see you not solve issues that are exciting to solve which is exactly what I like to see in programmers.
