Is 5 YOE considered entry level or associate? When I apply to associate level jobs I get nothing but rejections. And all the entry level jobs call for new grads or people with under 3 YOE.

I’m so confused. How do recruiters look at someone with 5 YOE? What level is that considered?

From my experience, that would be considered as a mid-senior level. But associate level should be considered compared to it. Don't worry😊, may be some mid-sized or small companies don't have much hierarchical levels, and the transition years of experience don't matter much for them. You can still apply for associate level positions.
The main thing is if you consider yourself fit for the position, you actually should apply for it. I am myself 5 years of experience,& I am getting a senior position. So will definitely work out for you 😊 Good luck!

Thank you! This helps a lot!

Every company is different in how they level roles. At Amazon you’d be considered for a mid level role with 5 years of experience.

Yes, 5 years is absolutely mid-senior level. Entry level is just that. No experience and training will be required for the person taking that role on. I consider associate 1-2 years (maybe stretching to 3 if the person is still working to master certain skills).

I agree. It annoys me seeing those types of roles. Basically it tells me the company wants to have their cake and eat it too. Pay someone entry level wage, but not have to provide the level of training entry level requires.
