I recently hired a senior who left their previous company in large part due to them not hiring juniors. A huge part of being a senior is supporting the growth of junior/mid-level engineers.
I agree, I think any company that stops hiring juniors is shortsighted and it will bite them in the ass soon.
Those company execs that do think all hiring of juniors should stop are showing how little they understand the current landscape of AI and it makes you wonder what else they are so wrong about.
- nathan_douglas 1y agoI think it's a symptom of much larger ailments to our society and species that we appear (to me, for now, at least) to have abandoned trying to address through systemic approaches. My employer is a federal contractor, and our clients are federal agencies. I could excuse this mindset at an early-stage startup, maybe, but... we feds and contractors should be out on the street corner begging junior engineers to join us. We could field an enormous, sustainable, well-compensated, healthy workforce. Follow best practices, focus on quality and longterm sustainability and maintainability, and work for the public. What's not to like? smdh. Sorry this turned into a rant.
