the reason not to hire junior employees isn't the money. It's they're net negative productivity for at least 6 months if you include the senior eng time spent helping them. It's a hard calculus, and I 100% understand why a company would choose never to do that.
- protonimitate 7y agoI'd argue that if a junior is net negative productivity for 6 months, either the onboarding process is not well enough defined and too drawn out, or the junior position being filled should really be for a senior.
