I would argue that the metaphorical "getting your foot in the door" is worth it above everything else.

But that could be true of the people in front of you too.
This place is worth working at to get some hours on your resume, but it's not worth staying at beyond that.
Within the wider world of employment, this is not an uncommon sentiment, but within software you don't hear so many people talking like this.
It's always seemed to me that people are aggressively attempting to hire for some criteria (even position) because they're either having trouble getting people on board, or holding onto them. There's something 'wrong' with them, for some definition of wrong.
Either they're looking in the wrong place, they're giving off a bad vibe that scares people off, or people who have that quality they're looking for are leaving at a higher rate than everyone else.
Why is this team trying so hard to hire team leads? Can't find any in house? Keep chewing them up? Or just incompetent hiring? Why doesn't this team have any women? Can't find any in house? Keep chewing them up? Or just incompetent hiring?
My guess is you would find out pretty quick why there is nobody quite like you at those companies, and soon they'll be fishing for your replacements.
