It’s not black and white.
Years is a proxy for total experience. When a J/D says 5 years of experience, it implies a certain breadth and depth of experiences, tools, learning experiences, client experiences, hard and soft skills that are going to be different than someone with 1 year of experience.
Might someone have it with 3-4 years of experience - absolutely. 6 months - year, probably not.
Years of experience is table stakes - a rough filter criteria of who we talk to. It’s not perfect and as we narrow candidates down, it matters less.
The interview process should showcase that depth and breadth of experience between simply years.
It's because the years add to the number of "that seemed like a good idea at the time. Let's not do that again." experiences. Those help in avoiding disasters that already happened when trying to get something off the ground or fix something.
This why the military tries to caution young, eager, newly minted officers to listen very seriously to their senior NCOs. Just because you can doesn't mean that you should.
They should be one in the same. (In theory) years of experience usually do not matter if there is no depth of experience. All good candidates should be able to prove competence. The only time experience depth would not matter is if it is a specialized role and only requires experience related to the role.
Honestly I understand both sides
