We counted how often Merrill's own 8 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. 7 of 8 ads (88%) state a number of years. The median is 5 years; 57% ask for 5 or more and 29% for 10 or more.

First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: python (25%), sql (25%), excel (25%), tableau (12%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Too few ads publish a pay range to compare, so we do not rank items by pay.
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
