Can you apply for "Minimum 1 year of experience" roles in your first year?

Hey all,

Quick question regarding the lateral job postings that state "minimum 1 year of investment banking experience", etc. As a first year, I'd assume you're not eligible but you'd probably start at a time that fulfills the requirement (assuming not immediate hire). Does this mean it'd be fine to apply for these roles or is it generally known to apply literally after a year?

Thanks.
