An OSS project can get you a job if it proves you are uniquely suitable for the job. It might not be at a place like FAANG but some random company that wants some special knowledge or skill.

That is, it has to be a cool open-source project, or at least something that somebody could think is cool. Something unique or different that stands out. Or maybe it is an entry level job and having a github proves you know how to use version control.
