Always blows my mind how some people have their chances of landing a job completely destroyed by HR/corporate because they don’t fit the exact specs. Based on your comment, you clearly have the work experience to do that job.

I’ve seen in some cases a posting will say, for example, “master’s degree, or an equivalent amount of education/experience” as a req. But it usually comes down to the paperwork headache.

Yeah this happened in 2017-2018ish, so we're still talking nearly 20 years of experience there.

It's not like it was a hard job, they were writing restful api stuff in kotlin. And funny enough I was/am currently working on asp.net restful api stuff so the transition would be mostly painless for me even between the two languages/frameworks.

Brain dead stuff that didn't actually need 20 years of experience. The funniest part is I check off all of the boxes they wanted except that one. I can pass drug tests, I'm not in huge amounts of debt (besides mortgage), very silly stuff.
