I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was “minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X”. My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

      No they aren’t, they’re obfuscating a bullshit arbitrary value and you’re buying it, as if it’s a goddamn statistic. That’s the point.

        I’m sorry you’re struggling so much with the English language. No need to get angry with me about it.

          I mean, you’re the one who doesn’t accept minimum as having a defined, discrete value.
