We counted how often JPMorgan Chase's own 543 ads (those with a full description) state each requirement. This shows the filters the ads apply before anyone reads a resume. We have no data on why candidates are rejected after applying, and we do not guess.
Years of experience. 331 of 543 ads (61%) state a number of years. The median is 3 years; 33% ask for 5 or more and 7% for 10 or more.
