God this process sounds awful. Why would anyone want to work for a company like that?

Interesting projects. Pushing your code to a billion users. TC in the $500k-$1MM range.

I would really encourage people that don't mind big companies to study for the interviews and just get the job. I promise you that you'll someday run into the algorithms questions you studied in real life. And you'll grow your software engineering career and make a lot of money. Dismissively writing it off feels cool, but you're really missing out on a good experience.

(I don't work for a FAANG anymore, but I did once, and it was fun. Super smart coworkers. Interesting work. Great pay.)

For the hope of retiring at 35.
There are plenty of other ways to retire at 35 without having to put yourself through that clown show.
Like what?
