Why tf is every job that I am applying to asking for 3-5 years of work experience?

How do I find a job in this market? Nearly impossible to get good pay. This job economy is completely done for good ig.

Apparently lot of talent at 4-5 year mark has been laid off from these Startups and it’s creating a glut in the market.

This is very true. Know if this internally in PhonePe and the number of applicants we’re getting is just too much

Dude, it's just a man made construct to contain your life because they are scared of what you are capable.

It's not our fault. It's just employers market. They see opportunity to exploit by hiring experienced folks in peanuts salaries and they are taking this opportunity. It's also that, there are so much supply across spectrum of roles that now companies are dominating every aspect - Harder interviews, harder resume filtering, lower salaries, worser wlb.

The moment the situation would get better (I am hopeful it would), all the people who were lowballed would be the first ones to leave

Its their way of lowballing applicants, they want senior employees for the pay of junior employees
