If I was looking for a junior / student / internship position at a FAANG (most likely Google), what should I focus on? Personal projects on my resume? Open source personal projects on my Github? Contributions to big and established OSS projects? If so, should I dive deeply into a single project, or would smaller contributions to a few projects be more advantageous? Are there any specific projects / subject areas that I should focus on? What about commercial work experience (or the lack thereof)? How does all that compare to actual leetcode knowledge / algorithmic problem-solving skills? Any great resources for acquiring those?
