If you are trying to push a bunch of people into this field by saying "these are the only courses you need to know to be able to pass FAANG interviews". What you're describing to me is a failure of interview process itself.

You are not wrong to say this, but you are actually highlighting a more serious problem about this field than you give credit too.

There are many subject matter classes that one should be aware of. The lack of focus on security and good coding practices outside of OWASP Top 10, is startling. I had to specifically opt for those classes because it was not required for the piece of paper that grants you easy entry into a Software Engineering job.
