Well said. I’d add to this that it’s not uncommon for a developer to need 3 months to get sufficiently up to speed on processes and codebase to be meaningfully effective. Salary up to that point is an investment in future employment, and wasted if the developer leaves after that period. Not to even mention team time spent on the hiring and onboarding process. There’s a reason most companies strongly prefer to hire people who will stay at least a couple years.
