u/Flaky-Candidate-2619

A friend of mine graduated in May from CU Boulder — mechanical engineering, internships, SolidWorks, passed his FE exam. Been watching him apply for months with nothing to show for it.

Got fed up and built a script to actually pull and analyze what these "entry level" listings require. Here's what I found:

Half want 2-3 years of experience. Several listed active Secret clearance as preferred.

Looked it up — 61% of jobs advertised as entry level apparently require more than three years of experience. So the listings aren't broken. They're just lying.

Anyone found a way to actually filter by what a listing requires rather than what the company called it?
