I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was “minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X”. My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

        I mean, you’re the one who doesn’t accept minimum as having a defined, discrete value.
