I have the opposite observation. The first few years are needed just to learn a domain. Productivity doesn’t begin to take off until after a few years. If no one had worked 10 or 20 years in my team we’d struggle to get anywhere.
The impact of new hires can still be great when it comes from bringing fresh ideas and perspective (e.g processes, tech knowledge) and that obviously fades as everyone with a long tenure at the company has used the same tech.
- throwawaysleep 5y agoCompanies have basically said “don’t bother learn about the business except for the interview” with their compensation approaches. Why bother spend time learning anything not applicable at your next role?
- magicalhippo 5y agoSame here. Took me over a year before I got somewhat confident with the domain, and after two years before I became fully productive. My boss takes this into account and doesn't hire people he's confident will move on in less than 3 years.
