I keep seeing job postings that say entry level but then ask for three to five years of experience plus certifications. Are companies actually hiring true beginners right now or are those postings just unrealistic wish lists? Trying not to get discouraged but it feels impossible to know which roles are genuinely worth applying for.

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
