Question

What do job posters expect when specifying 0 - 6+ years experience?

Ruzana Glaeser · Answer

If I were composing a job description with 0-6 years, it would mean that I am open to hiring somebody straight from college. That's it! Don't pay too much attention to it. If the hiring manager does due diligence, they will know that salary fro somebody with 5+ years of experience is going to be different from somebody who just graduated. I'd say it's a signal that people with and without experience are welcome to apply!

For the same position?  That sounds like a company that's trying to fill multiple roles at varying levels of experience, and only wants to pay for one posting.

I agree with Obenny.  0 years experience means it will be an entry level position, while six years means you are in the mid-to-upper end of the salary range.

I imagine it comes down to what salary will be determined. 0 could mean a less than desirable salary while advancing to close to 6 years means an acceptable salary range that will commensurate with the degree of knowledge of the duties to be assigned.

Thanks! I figured as much. 
Also, sometimes they specify 6 vs 6+. Is my 10+ yrs too much above the 6+?
