Years of Experience is killing me

RANT ALERT

I am a Software Engineer with 2 YoE. Wherever I apply they ask for 3+ or 5+ YoE minimum. I am hardly eligible for any roles. To one recruiter I really got angry and said "What is it that you believe 3+YoE candidates can do and 2+ can't ?" I got the same old reply - "It is company's policy" . I wonder who makes them. There are some really stupid people above us.

Seriously - how does an EM decide that this position requires at least 10 YoE. I bet they haven't the slightest clue and possibly tossing a coin. Or worst, they think what they were capable of doing at 10+ YoE themselves.

My first question is why do you want to change now ?

Secondly, please check the no of years of experience before applying.

Thirdly, if you want to ignore and still apply for the roles go ahead but don’t be disappointed if they reject you mate.

Because if you wait for another 6 months or so, probably they will consider you. So have patience. 6 months mai kuch khaas nahi ho jayega isa if you want to get into a specific company. Utilize the time to upskill yourself.

Yeah this is nonsense. In my company i applied for internal transfer to a higher role (SE-2) from SE-1 and they are saying it is not allowed. Bloody idiots i am already doing se-2 work in my current role and they are not promoting because of budget
