Possibly. Several people I know were laid off and had a job in a month... I don't know anyone that hunted for more than a few....
Edit: I also don't think FAANG on your resume makes you more hireable than anyone else unless maybe another FAANG? The main thing it shows is you are going to ask for more money.
In the US right now economy, I do agree that it can be a negative signal for employers when quantifying cost but, that outweighs their inherent value of prior vetting done by a major organization. However, if a candidate employee does apply for a role they are more than likely well aware of the possible salary range for the role - pending their states laws around pay range posting requirements. Companies hiring for software developers are mostly already complying with these requirments, as any survey across open roles can tell you.
