There is a reason for the heavy focus on Meta top 50 due to the inherent nature of speed being the deciding factor while maintaining consistency and reaching a working solution. This is simply not possible a completely new problem unless you are one of those grinders or competit

Wow what's with the tone? I think the biggest criticism of my view is that I was there 2009 to 2017 and left like 7 years ago now so I have an old view, but it's not a wrong view so I don't appreciate the attacking tone this is coming across as.
I did 450ish interviews. I trained interviewers on the ground. I attended dozens of hiring committee meetings and packet reviews with Shrep and Jay and Boz and the execs.
The amount of details they consider in those reviews is crazy. They look at the exact questions asked, and the interviewers history asking that question and their interviewers feedback history, etc...
It's not just like you memorize 50 questions and pass. I assure you that it's theoretically possible pass that way, and I assure you that's not the right way to do it.
I don't want to talk about this much because it seems like product placement, but I professionally mentor people through my company (Formation) and we've helped a ton of people get jobs at Meta, choose their teams, negotiate etc...
