Leetcode contest rating and passing FAANG interviews

Hi all, A LeetCode contest rating seems like a good performance indicator how one did with LeetCode contests over time. What would be a recommended target contest rating to achieve, which would give confidence that one can crack FANG interviews? Of course, an interview is not just about coding, but I'm asking specfically about an interviewee's capability to solve a coding problem during an interview. Thank you for reading.

Honestly I think the correlation is very mild for example I’m around 2000 rating and I’ve failed 3/5 faang interviews. But I guess back then when I did it last year I was much lower so who knows.

Passing 2/5 is solid. So basically at 2k you have what it takes.
