Who Killed the Junior Developer?
The problem is squashed salaries.  I’ll have junior devs or people straight out of code school asking for 75-80% the salary of a solid senior dev.  If I have to make a bet on who will be easier to manage and get productive 4 seniors vs 5 juniors for the same total expenditure I’ll choose the seniors every time.  Even at 2 to 1 I’m taking seniors. Maybe around 3 or 4 to 1 juniors might look better.  But that means junior starting salaries around 50k which no one is taking. Salary range is too squashed in the industy.
