> but employers especially want to see proof
Really? This has not been my experience at all. Nearly all tech job listings I've seen mention "or equivalent experience" somewhere.

How far back is this experience?
Is this what the job listings (of what there were) said during the 2008-2009 recession? Is this what they said in 2001 after the dot-com crash?
They may not say them now, they may not have said them in 1999, but they certainly are requirements companies can (and do) put up during the years when people need a job most.
