you're right though. Companies are just trying to hire the best and so they add bunch of bullshit to their requirements.... but if you're already really good even without meeting all the requirements then you have a chance... they are just maximizing the chance of someone skilled posting them, but it's not a hard limit, there's no government requirements for you to have a certain level of skill to work a job (except for state funded schools) that's about it

Stackoverflow.
I have zero experience working in a company. I did a few freelancing projects. My friend forwarded my resume to a company. They contacted me after some time, and gave me a technical challenge. I have solved it, sent it back to them, now I am waiting for their answer.
What's the thing? After going to the company website, I realized they require at least 3 years of experience. But they still contacted me knowing that I am still a student and have only done freelancing work.
No matter do they accept my solution or not, this is a lesson for me and for everyone else: do not let required years of experience discourage you from applying to a position. You can still get a chance.
Happy job hunting to all you junior devs :)
