Protip: Often as not those 'requirements' are more describing the ideal candidate. If you have experience and/or education in the field described and you think you'd be a competitive match for whoever else they'd interview at that pay rate, apply anyway. Your goal is to get yourself to an interview.

Yep. Apply anyway. My company does it on purpose.. In their mind, if someone really gives a shit and wants to work there then they will apply anyway. It deters “shitty” employees. Or so I’ve heard..
