The main benefit of FAANG is reputation, money, perks and peers. ![]() But, such work is not done by every member of the FAANG team. The difference is maybe in the number of problems solved. Maybe few people do get the opportunity to think and solve hard out-of-the-ordinary problems, but anyone having a nice background, can solve them. This said, if someone is well grounded in the principles of software, FAANG solutions is no longer out of reach. It's a combination of several solutions + fine tuning in that context.

Putting aside the notion that, your personality != your work history, I think it's silly, naive even, to conflate one's marketability with their credibility.
