Trying to figure out if I should bother applying to roles that ask for 5+ years when I only have 4. I meet pretty much everything else they're asking for. Is the experience number usually a hard cutoff?

5 years is just a nice number. If you’re at 4, go ahead and apply and see what happens. I say within a year is fine, outside of that, probably better looking for something else.

Definitely apply I would say

I would still apply. Experience numbers are often written as an ideal profile rather than a strict rule, especially if you match the skills and responsibilities.
