I interview at FAANG and we do take this into account by holding pretty much anyone over ~2 years of experience to the same standard with respect to leetcode questions. A fresh grad is expect to be able to solve ~medium problems. Someone with ~2 years of experience is expected to be able to solve ~hard problems. Someone with 10 or 20 years of experience is still only expected to be able to solve ~hard problems. The standards for a more experienced candidate are of course higher for other attributes: Leadership skills, communication skills, etc.
