When you see listings that require a longer term of experience than you have, do you still apply? My trajectory to manager was quicker than most people's, and at this point, I can't tell if it was a blessing or a curse. I don't have the 5-6 working years managers are expected to have under their belt, but I know I am competent. How do you suggest I deal with this problem?

Always apply. The experience requirements on job listings are wish lists, not hard rules. Most companies will interview someone with 3 years of experience for a role that "requires" 5 if the rest of the resume is strong. The worst they can do is not call you. If they do, you're out the 10 minutes it took to submit the app. Not the end of the world.

I agree with this. My thought is the worst that’ll happen is that you don’t get the position or raise or whatever but at best you do! I’ve had multiple instances where I applied to positions that were out of my scope per the requirements and ended up getting the positions and grew along the way. It can be challenging sometimes but other times it’s very rewarding.

Of course I'd apply. I heard a recruiter once talking pretty frankly about this, and his take was that if you're in the ballpark when it comes to the qualifications listed you should apply. You don't want to be spam applying to any and all jobs if you're utterly unqualified. You should be aware, however, that a lot of job postings are wish lists, and no one expects anyone to possess every requirement listed.

I still apply if I’m within shouting distance of the requirements and can show I’ve done the work at that level. Years are often a proxy, not a hard rule. I just make sure my resume screams impact and leadership.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
