I haven't come across usages like "minimum 2 to 5 years experience" before.
I would guess that it's a compromise: one person wanted to say "minimum 5
years experience" and another wanted to say "minimum 2 years
experience". (Seems almost a lost cause for those of us who argue for an
apostrophe in the "years". Would they say "1 years experience"? But that's
a different battle.)
I wonder how they'd react if you said that your minimum rate was "$90 to
$150 per hour". Would they assume you'd turn down $160?
