I don't mean this to come off as insensitive but having a pipeline conversion of 10% on both steps of the process feels quite low to me. Both numbers are very different from my own experience: with a 'true FAANG' name on resume, the application to interview rate should be more around 50-90%. For interview->offer, if you grind out system design and LeetCode, you can get to 40-75%. These numbers are quite attainable for junior/mid-level/senior roles, though there is more variability / poorer predictability for staff-level roles.
Speaking from experience as well as the experience of former colleagues. Of course, you may find that you don't want to grind out prep to increase the latter conversion, which is also fine. Just wanted to provide another data point.
