Maybe at a hell company like this example, but in most that are sane you're encouraged to learn on the job.
At the end of the day you're not paid to program, you're paid to solve problems, and typically that's easiest to achieve by producing code.
Sometimes the problem is you don't know a particular language or toolkit even if it's the best fit for a problem domain...
- makapuf 9y agoSure you are. But I dont pat consultants to learn on the job. Those people were consultants and while I'd rather fire someone who didn't learn anything during a year internally, I'm definitely not paying a consultant to learn what s/he has been sold by his firm to be an expert on.
- astrodust 9y agoYou pay a consultant to understand your problem and sometimes solve it. If you've hired them and they don't know your domain then you're going to need to give them time to learn. It's on you for hiring someone that didn't already know everything. Don't expect them to put in free time to understand whatever infrastructure and code you have in place.
