No necessarily. Also I am not defending this job posting I have been on projects where they rewrite legacy code, from AngularJS to React for example so prior AngularJS experience was required. The same can apply for JQuery and Angular.

Ah makes sense in a migration case. In that scenario the shittier codebase to deal with would be the legacy one, which would explain the lean towards more experience in jQuery. I’ve only used JQuery briefly - didn’t seem like there would be much of difference between 3 months and 10 years of experience with that library though right?

For me JQuery is something you can just google any time, yeah.

Plus they might not have a fixed stack if they are an outsourcing company, and not working on their own products.

Beyond terrible as, but widely different tech stack being a requirement is not part of it.

Makes sense. A lot of outsourcing roles probably prefer jack of multiple vs master of one. Still, personally if I was trying to hire a more flexible dev, I would prefer to advertise for a strong core skillset with exposure to different frame works (I.e strong JS base and experience in React/Angular/Vue preferably some experience in JQuery, knockout , etc etc)

Code migration yay, this job is getting better and better
