The median software engineer salary isn't anywhere near the median doctor's salary. I don't know that most engineers could make it through FAANG interviews even with months of prep.
I was going off more of FAANG salaries, comparing the work you put in to get a FAANG job vs the work you put in to get a doctor job.
Huh, i guess it probably is true that "most" engineers couldn't make it, but i guess my viewpoint is skewed because "most" of my engineer friends could and do make it, with "months" of prep being an upper bound, more closer to "weeks". So, it is a bit selective, but i don't know how selective it is relative to people who are able to get into medical school.
