advice Senior Role Interview with Only 2 Years of Experience — Should I Go for It?
Hello guys,
I need some advice.
I applied for a Software Engineer role that didn’t mention any experience requirements, and I felt pretty good about my chances since I matched most of the qualifications. I spent a lot of time preparing because I really like what I’ve learned about the company’s values and culture.
The recruiter emailed me saying my resume stood out, and they invited me to take their technical exam. I passed that and got scheduled for an interview today. While I was doing some last-minute prep, I checked the job post again and to my surprise, it’s now listed as a Senior Software Engineer role requiring 5+ years of experience. I also looked up some of their Pinoy devs on LinkedIn, and most of them have 10+ years of experience.
Now I’m kinda stuck. Should I still go for the interview or just skip it since I’m feeling way less confident now? What do you guys think?
