I have been reading a few articles talking about how FAANG isn’t as lavish as it used to be. My first question is if that is true? If it is true, my second question is what companies out there have the pay, benefits, and perks like FAANG? My last question is if it is as difficult to get into those companies?

I had an interview with @cognizant all rounds done with HR AND Salary negotiation, after that I sent an email to them related to my offer status. However, they replied me as, we have kept you on hold etc.
And now @cognizant hr called me 3 times for job opening, and I have told them my offer is on hold. Now, they have scheduled interview. Is it for same or new. It's really confusing for me.
If they release old offer what we have discussed or they will interview me again

I’d say you are right to feel imposter syndrome. You have very little experience and more seasoned creatives will smell this on you. So, don’t go around pretending you know more than you actually do, this will work against you. Do however, be curious, enthusiastic, and listen more than others. In the not too distant future, you’ll wake up and realize that you know what you’re doing.
Simple truth. Salary, experience and skill are only partly linked. Plenty of people stay at one agency for 6 years and end up way underpaid.
Be hungry. Soak up ideas, learn and live the correct processes for your agency, throw yourself at pitches and coach new juniors to the best of your ability. I promise you you'll get twice as good at your job long before you double your salary.
Do you. Ride the wave. My only words of caution would be to not let people’s need to fill seats promote you too soon. Because, ultimately, they’re not worried about you learning what you need to learn at each level to progress to the next. They’re just trying to make sure they have warm bodies to fill the roles.
I’ve also found that smaller, non-traditional agencies promote a bit faster and with less requirements. For example, I became a senior writer in under three years. But, when I switched to a more traditional agency, they brought me on as a mid-level CW.
What I learned from that experience is that I had the talent, passion, and leadership capabilities. But, being promoted so quickly didn’t give me the chance to learn the craft needed for different media.
So, since then, I’ve put the brakes on my own title jumps more than once. I got my money. But, I didn’t let people put me in a position where I wouldn’t be able to learn and develop the skills I needed.
So, like I said, keep doing you. But, make sure while you are you’re being honest about your growth areas. This will only help you in the end and increase the longevity of your career.
You got this!
It seems like you’re already doing amazing!!
Be yourself. The new agency obviously saw something in you that they're excited about, so go in with confidence. Congrats - you've got this!!!
I have been feeling this myself lately. Even years into my career it still happens. Just know they wouldn't have hired you if they didn't think you were capable. You hae got this.
