YoE !== Skill
Refer to a programmer competency metrix, for a SDE2 level, you need to be at Level 1 for at least half the skills (the more the better)

But most job opening are putting YOE as expectation and mentioning 2+ or 3+
That's okay, you can still apply if you believe you have the necessary set of skills. A decent hiring manager would look at the skills, not the YoE numbers. YoE ranges are what are normally expected for a certain role.
If you are able to answer these 2 questions without looking around, you are eligible for SDE2
- Can you implement coroutine using Java threads?
- Can you implement ViewModel without using Android libraries?
