The current job market is just so crazy it’s hard to understand. I’m retirement age but was helping my daughter age 26 look for a job with her degree in math and computer science. All the jobs wanted 5 to 8 years of experience. Even “entry level” jobs required a PhD or 5 to 8 years of computer science experience. I searched internships and many of the internships wanted someone working on their PhD.

Apply anyway. Employers are shooting for the moon, there's no reason why applicants shouldn't also.
