They specifically only hire seniors, they don't want to provide positions for juniors as they would prefer to pay more for more seniors than pay indirectly for training juniors. I think this reflects poorly on them, just as much as com

Optimizing C++ code is enough of a niche requirement nowadays that it is totally reasonable for you have to train junior devs in this area rather than hiring them ready to go. If you don't want to train them, pay the price for an exper
