Totally agree with this. I’ve seen so many job posts asking for “10 years in X industry” and honestly, some of the best people I’ve worked with came from totally different backgrounds. They learned fast, asked good questions, and didn’t bring the same bad habits that people sometimes pick up from staying too long in one place.

Also, soft skills really do make or break a team. I’d rather work with someone who listens, gives clear updates, and handles feedback well than someone who’s technically perfect but can’t talk to anyone or throws blame around when things go wrong.

It’s not that experience doesn’t matter, but it’s not everything,and it’s not hard to teach if the person’s mindset is right.
