Masters (nonMBA) from an Ivy, 2 years audit with some special projects at a Big4, 1yr of advisory at another Big4. CPA. Have plenty of experience in SQL, Tableau and willing to get certifications if it’ll help my case at all.

Would applying for Accounting/Financial Analyst positions asking for 4-5YOE be a stretch? I got an offer from another company asking for 5 YOE when I was at 2.5 a while back but I am wondering if Google is strict on these requirements due to the prestige?

Yes. You should apply apply to roles you meet the required qualifications, even better if you meet some preferred qualifications or are overqualified.

uplifting

Yes

Usually the YOE are pretty strict

If you don’t meet all the requirements you won’t get a shoot they have such high internet

Google is very strict on YOE. I went up 3 levels when I left G because they wouldn’t even count some of my experience since it wasn’t relevant enough

I have recently started working as a BA at a startup company in the e-commerce domain where I'm one of the only two BAs in the organization.. Prior to this job, I have worked as a RPA Developer for 6 months and a Game Tester for 3 years.

What would be an ideal duration to start looking for a switch? There are two reasons behind this -
1. I wish to work at a MNC since it would provide me exposure to bigger projects.
2. Salary is currently below market level.

Appreciate any feedback!
