Years of experience is a somewhat reliable proxy for wisdom, but of course far from a perfect indicator for actual wisdom. But it doesn’t matter that it’s not perfect, since nobody gets hired solely because of their years of experience. Most everyone still have to go through an interview process.
Also, my point wasn’t exactly that you can necessarily claim wisdom/maturity because of your years of experience, but rather that it’s hard to credibly do without it. Ie., it’s really hard to get hired into a “senior” role with only one ore two years of experience, no matter what your title was in your old job.
