I would rephrase that to "who were willing to go through the big tech interview loop in the past". The big different between the people who go through this and don't is not ability but desire from my experience.
I know 4 developers that work for FAANG companies, I don't know why, but all 4 of them are women.
One is a brilliant programmer, team leader and generally a wonderful person to hang around with. The other 3.... well... I have no idea how on Earth they made it, they're clueless when it comes to programming; of which 2 have serious personality issues also.
Doesn't change that the prestige of having it on your resume will cause many other companies to blindly hire you.
