I think about this a lot. Why don't companies do it, especially when the $$ for seniors is skyrocketing? As a former eng manager: because most managers/teams know they suck at growing jr devs. At scale, you need to build out an internal apprentice/training program. Few do. t.co/HTcvMVCezM

Companies who manage to onboard junior engineers *at scale* will have a major competitive advantage. There's already a group of companies who does this well: agencies. They've been doing it forever. Within Big Tech, Amazon does this the best by a lot: t.co/mR7GGMF5kh

The problem starts a level back. Many eng managers in tech suck at... being eng managers. They often got promoted from a sr engineer, and can just about manage a group of seniors. Many of them are more likely to scar juniors for life over helping them. Need to fix this first.
