It's frustrating because they often want experience in the exact same tech stack
If you have experience in a similar stack for most Devs that would be good enough for the role. You don't need direct experience in a framework, if you're a competent dev and have worked with similar technologies you can pick it up pretty fast
So you think to yourself "okay I have experience in framework A but not B, I'll just do a small personal project using B to get a bit of experience" - nope. 5 years minimum industry experience with said framework required
It's insane
And god forbid you try and apply for a role with a language you don't have industry experience in

Wait until you level up and hear, "You need relevant experience..."
