For my current job the posting said 4 years of experience. I had 1 at the time.
Officially, my company is only hiring seniors, but if a decent junior applied (at least a year of experience inclusive of internships), I could see us taking them, especially with the right tech stack.
So, apply anyway.
- mooreds 5y agoThis bums me out. On two levels: * The company doesn't have a clear idea of what they want, so they fall back on 'years of experience'. Lazy. I've written job descriptions and I know it's hard, but c'mon. * This will turn off talented folks that might make great team members (esp folks who don't apply unless they have 100% of the qualifications).
- MattGaiser 5y agoIt is a more a case of what they want vs what they are willing to/forced to take in the current market. I doubt they would openly consider that person, but when there is a candidate in front of them who has reasonably passed some questions and is willing to accept, I would hope they would budge.
