Presumably they would ramp up their pay and responsibilities according to their development. If they're only worth introductory pay and responsibilities 12 months in, let them go take a pay raise elsewhere. The attitude that pay only goes up incrementally year to year is fairly infounded. The curve should be steeper six months to three years in, depending on you industry and stack. Organizations should also optimize their tech for onboarding efficiency. I rarely see that enter the discussion other than broadly: "It's easier to find JS developers."
