Anyone have success moving in this market with 1 YOE and a master's degree?

Most jobs have 12 bullet points, I meet 10 of them the two I miss is usually 5 YOE and PMP

I been trying and have zero luck due to experience on paper but the work I do is positioned in leading E2E project within DevOps.

Ok no offense, but there’s a big difference in missing two bullet points and missing 4 YOE.

At most you should be applying to roles at the 2-3 YOE mark, 5 YOE is an incredible stretch

No you're fine, I misspoke there.

5 YOE was an example I am definitely targeting 3-5. I have had conversations for roles that are asking for 5 YOE, it's just that my challenge from a screening process is to get to that conversation

Truly what makes a difference between 1 YOE and 3-5 YOE? If we include years I been in the industry working full-time internships through the year that's another 2 YOE.

I agree wisdom/experience can play a factor but that doesn't mean I am not ready for those roles if the only factor is based off YOE

I just did with 1.5 YOE and a Master’s. Lots of throwing apps at a wall and seeing what stuck. The only secret sauce was really researching the company and making it seem like I was super interested and knew my stuff. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat

Referrals are your best friend. You won’t get much traction otherwise

I switched with 1 YOE and a bachelor’s - definitely doable but you need to apply to roles that are realistic for your YOE, background, & skills

Would recommend narrowing your job search, tailoring your resume to the job description & the skills it lists, and curating your elevator pitch for each role to nail the phone interview

I also switched with a bachelors and 1 YOE. What I realized is that at our level and with the low YOE, no one is really testing us for experience because frankly we haven’t done shit. My MD said he looks for attitude and for how willing we are to hustle and open to being coached/developing a skill set. Could apply in your case too

I think 5 yoe is a stretch but if they are asking for 2-3 yoe then might be doable. Get a referral and actually put in effort for interview prep. If you worked in consulting for 1 year then that probably equates to 2 year of industry experience. You can always have a conversation with the recruiter what could be the best fit

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?
