> they struggled to operate Visual Studio in spite of claiming to be a proficient .NET developer Just out of curiosity: were these junior devs? Were they maybe

  From a company’s perspective, why spend time mentoring juniors and doing on the job training - both of which takes time away from your senior resources - instead of just hiring someone else who can hit the ground running? Yes I realize someone has to train them, but you might as well let someone else do it and poach them once they have experience and they are looking for another job. Inevitable as they gain experience at the other company, their market value will go up quicker than their HR policy will allow for raises (salary compression) and you can still offer them slightly below market rates and they will be glad to take it because they don’t know their worth and it’s a big jump for them. They probably don’t know how to negotiate either. I’m not making a value judgement. This is just the world we live in.
