Sure. 3-6 months is usual for new hires, retraining. For comparison, I onboarded ~20 domain experts, pushing real code to prod in 1 week, unsupervised in 2. Ne

  When I say speculation, I mean regarding what retraining would entail. You’re assuming a simple switch in technology stack, when in reality there are varying degrees of difficulty in switching roles (eg web to native mobile development, FE dev to payment infrastructure, CRUD apps to high perf networking, and so on), some of which require years in experience to be effective. Or maybe they need 36 marketers instead, you can’t really “retrain” for a new BsC. There’s really no reason for a company to take the risk of “hiring” 36 juniors other than a vague sense of the company being indebted to them - which they’re not, if employees were well compensated and treated fairly. It’s a business relationship. You don’t owe them, they don’t owe you anything.

    The things you describe are not stack switches. They are domain switches. Domain switching is more difficult and some people may be unwilling to do so, but for especially senior devs, its still pretty reasonably doable.
