I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

The higher bound is an indication of maximum salary. It's saying "we need at least 5 years experience, but if you have 30, we're paying you like you have 5."

    I've been hiring people for 10 years. Before it was common to post salaries, this was a good way to not waste people's time interviewing for jobs below their rate.

    It's in the requirement section because that's the section we are able to modify on the stupid Excel sheet that the recruiters force us to use.

    Your naivety and ignorance about the way people use language and the way the world works is no one's responsibility to correct but your's.
