We counted how often PwC's own 16 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. 15 of 16 ads (94%) state a number of years. The median is 4 years; 33% ask for 5 or more and 7% for 10 or more.

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.
Same role elsewhere
