Only about 100 to 200.or so graduates of Codesmith out of 4000 went to canonical FAANG during the good times. And a number of people are in contract roles and don't stay there. A number of people also get there after a couple years at other companies too, not.inckided in these numbers.
It's a great accomplishment but it's extremely rare and wasn't typical in 2019 either.
Especially the people who lied on their resumes to get the jobs nowadays don't want anyone to know because they risk losing it if found out as it's almost impossible to get a SWE full time role with zero experience.
