Each FAANG has thousands of positions open in any given city. Google is planning to add 10-15k people in NYC, Apple plans to add 15k new jobs in Austin, Microsoft and Amazon are fighting for talent in Seattle, the Bay Area is a cluster f*ck. How do they staff all those positions while keeping the hiring bar so high? I keep hearing about a shortage of engineers but lots of other companies are mimicking the FAANG process too. I would expect interviews to be more relaxed in an environment where companies had a shortage of engineers.
Google is adding 10k-15k people in a single city? Source?
Looks like I may have been off by a bit but doesn’t change my point https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/12/17/google-announces-billion-expansion-new-york-city/

Why are women naked in gym?
It is relaxed..sort of.. FANG recruiters sending out interview study guide is how they communicate the hiring bar. Meet this bar and you can come work with us.
Are you saying each interview has custom study guide, or more of general guide which can be like study Data Structures, Algorithms, etc. which are very broad topics.
Telling somebody where the bar is doesn’t make it relaxed. In any other field if a company had 6,000 open positions in a single city I’d expect anybody could walk in, prove moderate competence, and get the job. But what I’m seeing is these companies want to fill all 6,000 roles with a top 1% candidate and the math there just doesn’t add up.
