Same boat as you but I do have a CS degree. I have almost 2 years of professional experience but technically it's like '6 months 4 times' considering they were internships/contractual employment. I've done projects with several frameworks and libraries on my own but not professionally. Regardless, recruiters/HR will tell me they're looking for people with "more experience" without being specific even though they're hiring for a junior level position. In reality it seems more like they want to hire a senior-level developer and pay them at a junior-level rate. I've actually heard a headhunter say that an open position they're looking for people to fill would like someone who knows and has worked with Polymer for 1-2 years. smh
