> What companies are most willing to give the "one year experience over many years" worker a fighting chance and get them up to speed? The simple answer is none. The company would need to not only figure out why an individual was behind, but then make a call if they were a worth while investment to get up to speed. Too many variables too much room for dishonesty or it not working out. No need to make that sort of investment when there are other people out there, who will likely cost the same amount (all in) and be productive. > I rarely see it come up with solutions to fix it once you're waist-deep into this problem. Individual problems require individual solutions - Change what area one works in (frontend vs backend vs embedded) and make a radical language change. Basically start over and then work like a starving student (be hungry for knowledge).
