BS from non-target university, I recently got a job as SWE at a tier-2 company.
Although I am grateful to get the job, I would like to know what to do in order to get into FAANG in the next 1 year.
Yes, it is about the brand. I want to build more self-confidence in myself. So I think of it as a personal challenge.
Thanks 🙏

You are out earning some of the best entry level offers that I've seen unless 90k of that is options.
I get the need for prestige, but you really dont need it. If you want the network, just go throught other networking venues and build up your comp.
All of my FANG interviews weren't nearly as hard as interviews at a "tier-2" companies. Mostly because FANG interviews are gameable, just read CTCI and do the company specific questions on leetcode.
I’d just like to know what to do and guidance to a correct path.
