Experience is something which is very easy to get even if you dont do any thing . Dan Stanford once said "Experience is what you get when you dont get what you want."
Experience & Learning are two different things that go side by side. You can have 10 years of experience, but the chances are that you might have not learned any thing in your experience or in other words you may have 3 years of experience & you wud have learned a lot. Few months back we had a session from our companies top bosses. One of them said in the open session that if you working for 5 years & doing the same things every year then you will have 1 year of experience 5 times. Thats the bottom line of what i want to say. Its not how much the time you put in your work rather its about how you utilize your time, how much you gain from the time you have spent on your job. Working hard & working smart are two different things. Working late everyday after the regular timings, working on weekends will make you hard worker but not an efficient one. If your job demnds extra hours of work and extra effort then its perfectly fine to stretch yourself sometimes & complete it, but making it a habbit wont take you to the top.
Total experience should not be the only cretira to judge a person. It should be his/her learning ability, efficiency along with the hardwork. but unfortunately filtering criteria starts with the number of years of your experience.
In a nutshell, its always your option to do things hard way or the smart way. choose carefully...
