We counted how often Visa's own 15 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 15 ads (100%) state a number of years. The median is 8 years; 93% ask for 5 or more and 20% for 10 or more.
