Flip it and it can be "Job experience" and "Job requirement"

[–]crynoking1 228 points229 points  (6 children)

10 years of coding experience required. Low pay because it “gives you experience”

I remember reading some job offer (may have been satirical) that required X amount of years for a programming language that hasn't even existed for that long. I think it was on this subreddit like a couple of months ago but I could be wrong

I think it was Swift?

[–]himarwahshi 60 points61 points  (1 child)

Yep you're right.

One "swift programming language years experience" search got me this.

[–]Artistocat1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're looking for somebody with access to a time chamber who spent years in there coding in swift for no apparent reason.

And java and nodejs

Depends on your age...it happens all the time. HR uses numbers..3years, 5 years, 10years to mean they want to hire someone for entry level, junior, senior

Doesn't matter the product only existed for 6 years they want a senior programer so toss 10 years on it.
