Exceptional Talent Vs Promise

You can apply for either route! If you are confident that your evidences and achievements are exceptional enough for Talent, go for it.

It also depends on the assessor: quite a number of people with 5+ years experience have been assessed and endorsed for Promise, because they gave convincing reasons on why they applied for that route despite their years of experience.

However, I don’t think the Promise route being a “safer” option would be a valid reason, and it definitely doesn’t guarantee endorsement.
Here’s a recent example from someone with >5 years experience, applied for Promise and was assessed on Promise route because they gave a valid reason.
