    Just because they are good and your job gives raises doesn’t mean previous employers did.

    If you want loyalty get a dog, I work to get paid.

      If someone’s spent less than 2 years at their 3 most recent jobs, there’s a high chance they’re job hopping. Especially if they’re engineers in a discipline that can take months to a year to be fully capable of the tasks needed.

        Im pretty senior now, you’d pass me by and the most valuable thing I’d do is to reduce that learning time.

        I don’t know what you do, but in my IT jobs I’ve seen  long onboarding times are due companies not focusing on their product, eg: a finance company writing their own authentication system, or maintaining someone’s vanity project who has long since departed. Get rid of that and you can bring people in off the street.

          Yeah, you can’t do that with engineering. Especially when you’re building models to support multiple product lines and have physical testing you have to match to
