Surely not your entire problem, but at least one of those roundfilings of your resume could be anti-FAANG bias, or bias against a particular FAANG.

A recruiter for a hot technical-excellence company (the kind you might think would poach the strongest FAANG people), told me that an exec was explicitly uninterested in candidates from a particular FAANG.

(I forget the exact rationale, but it was something like a belief that people from there having learned the wrong lessons about engineering or product.)
