How strict is Google on years of experience? If I am a brand new PL/EM at MBB but have 5 YOE, and an S&O Lead (L5) needs 6 YOE, will they ask me to wait a year to be eligible? Also have a top MBA but doesn’t seem to count for much.

Do you set up any standards when you date with anybody? I’m currently dating with a Mexican man. He is older than me 10 years old (I thought 6 when we first met). His job is construction and made less than me. He is insecure about the money but I’m not really. But, the one bothering me is that he is illegal immigrant. Other than that, He is a cure, nice and independent guy. When dating, he split money/ or want to cover for me. He cares about people around. I am happy but not sure about LT.
