IBM looking for 12 years’ experience in Kubernetes administration
Recruiters putting silly time requirements on skills is nothing new. My favorite moment of this type was at a meetup for .NET, where a recruiter came in and asked for too many years of experience, and the entire room burst out laughing. She just smiled, accepted the grief we all were giving her, and changed the job description to be accurate. I forget the exact wording she used, but I remember the gist of her response was, "Thanks for correcting me - if I was an expert in the technology I'd be doing it, not looking for people to do it, so I appreciate it when you all help me understand it better."
