If you define talent as the criteria by which FAANG selects from a pool of employees - then you're by definition correct.
If you don't - then you disagree.
If FAANG is paying top dollar and selecting for trash - you have to wonder why, though.

I worked at FB and Amazon for six years total and the vast majority of my fellow engineers were from random mediocre schools (including myself, from the U. of Arizona).
