Hi All! I've been keeping an eye on the job market lately. I'm realizing as I'm looking at things, I'm still looking for entry level jobs. I've been out of school for about 5.5 years now. So I was wondering when you started to realize you've been in the market for a while and can start to look for jobs that are intermediate or senior levels of experience?

I'd encourage you to go for it- as women we often undersell ourselves or don't apply when we think we might be underqualified. Especially in this hot recruiting market, 5.5 years of experience is significant! Best of luck

I don't think the number of years you been out of college has anything to do with the level of work you should focus on.
The level of position you should look for is based on a combination of complexity of the roles you've had, the time spent in those roles and if you can demonstrate expertise at those roles with promotions and increased responsibilities.
