(Fwd) Job Postings

[Fernando Duran]

I read the '3 to 5 years' requirement in general as:
"we want you to have at least 3 years of experience,
but don't expect us to pay more if you have more than
5 years of experience", since there's some assumed
"industry standard" pay scale intervals according to
position/responsibilities and years of experience.

I haven't read in detail this specific job post, in
some cases it may be the case (like suggested below)
that the technology hasn't been around for longer than
5 years.
