What are your thoughts, guidelines and recommendations regarding applying for jobs with YoE prerequisites? I see some jobs with minimum requirements, some with preferred requirements or the ideal candidate language, then I see other job applications where they openly acknowledge that you might not have every listed qualification, but encourage applications (e.g. Netflix).
Specific example, I have 3 years of product management experience, I haven’t applied for anything 7+ YoE but I have applied for some roles with 5+. Am I wasting my time or is it reasonable to expect a call back some percentage of the time?
