I'm on the same page. I don't feel comfortable applying if I don't meet the majority of the requirements, especially regarding years of experience. I tried convincing myself they're just a wishlist but still...

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

Submit the application but tailor it to showcase relevant experience and transferable skills. You have 60% - over half - 40% offers growth and longevity if you get the job.

The worst that will happen is you get an automated rejection email from the company system. The best is a new job!

Haha yeah I like the way you think! Whats the worse that can happen.

Appreciate the encouraging words!

If those are the requirements of the job, 40% is a big gap, especially given the available talent on the market. If its a good company, it’s worth connecting with the recruiter and asking them, you at least build a relationship for future opportunities.

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.

Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?
