Applying Azure data engineering jobs

I´m looking for work and got a call from a recruiter. The job is a Azure data engineering job, the client uses Data Factory, Synapse and Databricks among others (apparently Fabric in future too but that was not on req list).

I´ve been now studying for DP-600 and preparing for the exam. I have also prior background in other data tools. I filled in a skill assesment form for the job and put most things to "no experience" or "1" for e.g. Synapse, which is true (on scale 1-5). The recruiter called me back saying that "hey, you know very much already and are experienced, just put like 3 or 4 there".

I´m a bit hesitant but is the skills from e.g. Fabric Data Factory so transferrable that I can just put 3 or 4 on Azure Datafactory?

For context, I´m a Finn and in my culture belittling one´s own skills is seen as a virtue. The recruiter was just laughing and said that if I was from some other culture I would have just put all 4s and 5s across the board :D
