1. Soft.
2. Non-negotiable requirement.
3. Soft and irrelevant.
4. Non-negotiable - Must have and demonstrated successes.
5. Non-negotiable - must be an Excel wizard with modeling skills.
So basically the job description comes down to:
An experienced analyst MD or PhD with demonstrated pharma/biotech sector experience and proven excel modeling.
My wife worked for similar type firm in the past that had similar requirments, but management didn't have it. They just want to weed out less qualified candidates. A candidate with experience can read between the lines. They won't say no to a candidate with experience - that's the reality.

Instead I believe that the biggest challenge in todays job market is that companies frequently end up hiring people who are really overqualified for the position they are working in. This is a combination of inflated requirements in the ads and that it is sometimes difficult to make the decision to hire the less qualified candidate for a certain position. Hiring someone who is overqualified often results in various complications.
