In sintesi

FAANG (Facebook/Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) hiring is highly structured: coding rounds (2-3), systems design (1-2), behavioral (1-2), manager rounds. Most candidates fail because they don't practice the specific formats and constraints. Preparation typically takes 12-16 weeks and 300+ hours. Senior FAANG offers: $200k-350k+ (base + stock + bonus). The skill compounds: cracking FAANG unlocks recruitment, mentorship, and consulting income. Learning this opens $50-100k upside on base salary vs. typical tech roles.

Cos'è FAANG Preparation

FAANG preparation is the disciplined practice of mastering technical interviews at scale-obsessed tech companies (Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google). The interview loop includes: technical coding (algorithm implementation), systems design (architecture at scale), behavioral (team fit, leadership), and manager conversation. Most candidates fail not because they can't code, but because they've never practiced the specific formats: write correct code in 45 minutes under time pressure, design YouTube in one sitting without a whiteboard, tell a story about conflict resolution the STAR way.

❓ Domande frequenti

How much does FAANG preparation cost?
LeetCode Premium: $35/month. Interviewing.io: $0-200/session. Books (CTCl, Designing Data-Intensive Apps): $50 total. Courses: free YouTube + paid ($500-2000 optional). Total realistic: $500-2000 if self-paced, up to $5000 with coaching.
How long does FAANG interview process take?
Phone screen: 45 min. On-site: 4-5 hours (4 rounds). Offer stage: 1-2 weeks to final offer. Total: 2-3 weeks from initial call to offer.
Should I practice on LeetCode or real interview sites?
Both. LeetCode for volume (1000+ problems). Interviewing.io for real-time feedback from actual FAANG interviewers. Real interviews reveal blindspots.
What's the difference between coding and systems design rounds?
Coding: implement an algorithm correctly in 45 min. Design: architect a system (Twitter, YouTube, Uber) in 45-60 min. Both test problem-solving, not memorization.
Is salary negotiation worth practicing?
Yes. Average FAANG offer negotiation gain: $20-50k + extra vacation/signing bonus. Practice anchor techniques, understand equity, know your market rate.
