[D] For those of you who secured research scientist roles at faang in the last few years what is your profile like?

I’m seeing a ridiculous amount of posts from people in PhD programs with multiple first author A* conference papers saying they can’t get an interview for research scientist roles at FAANG. I’m about to start a PhD in the hope of getting a research scientist role at FAANG after, but if it doesn’t help either way I may forgo doing so. What does it actually take to get a research scientist position at FAANG?
