I wouldnt sweat it. Those requirements are really just guidelines.

The job I have now "requires" six years of experience and I have three. Don't worry about it. While they may end up going with someone who has more experience (it definitely happens and has happened to me more than once), you have to go in confident.

Requirements are 🧢. So many recent graduates nowadays becoming mid/senior super quickly. Get it!

Don’t get phased by details like that, if they’re interviewing you, they think your work has potential. Good luck!

I generally ignore those. An AD I know graduated portfolio school and went right into a senior role (he has a great book though).

If you have a strong book I think it cancels out those sort of requirements

Be confident + shoot your best shot. Half the battle is getting the interview. They already like you, this is your time to remind them why they can’t live without you. Good luck, OP!

You’ll be fine I go by if your resume was picked. Also depends on the agency some agencies two years can be another persons year as far as workload. I would focus on that so it feels like two years. It’s only part of the job the rest is team chemistry. Be prepared to speak about why you’re leaving already.

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience. Quarterly, I have a performance review call with my Market Executive and until today never heard anything negative… my growth is slower than I’d like and definitely I’m sure that’s why, but today he said last time “they” wanted to give me a letter of education and he talked “them” out of it. First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are. Liberal judges see the Constitution as guidelines for the court to interpret and then cement things into law that they deem reflect the current mood of the day, essentially serving as a tool for policymaking outside of the legislative branch. Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
