Even if we grant this is going to be a problem, it makes no sense for any individual company to do anything about it. Why take on the cost of training a junior when they can bail in a few years? This is especially true if you're not a big tech company, which puts you at risk of having your junior-turned-senior employees poached by big tech.

Give your juniors reasons to stay at your company? It's not hard if the company cares at all.

It's pretty hard for a non-big tech company to pay big tech level salaries.

And most of my friends and colleagues would take a full remote role that pays half what big tech, 5 days in office pays. Add in an extra week of PTO and you have a great pitch to devs.

I'll believe it when I see it reflected in applicant resumes. (east coast tech firm)

What do you mean? You’re not getting applicant resumes to your smaller org?

I personally turned down an Apple offer because they required 3 days in office and went this a much smaller fully remote team.

You can incentivize people to stay with things other than salary. Salary plays a part of course, but there is a lot of other aspects that make staying at a job worthwhile.
