Entry level requiring 3 years experience is code for Experienced but willing to take an entry level salary. Full stack on half comp.

  I remember when the last tech bubble popped, in my area there were literally no entry level development positions -- 3-5 years minimum experience required or no call back. This percolated up the experience tree to the top. You'd see job postings asking for more years experience with a certain technology than that technology had even existed. I actually ended up changing careers into something else it was so bad and finally in the last few years moving back in to pure tech work. From the hiring side, I understand why the plethora of job descriptions: companies are usually forming job openings where they're having current pain. They take the skillset of the team they have, look at what's missing, shove a title on top of those things and post it out in the world. Quite often they don't really know what they want so all kinds of craziness ends up in the posting.

    > Quite often they don't really know what they want so all kinds of craziness ends up in the posting. That sounds like one of the answers to the question: "How do I know if the company I am applying to is a good fit?"
