> You should expect to train and mentor ...
I've always thought so too. But it doesn't seem like any companies really buy into this any more.
I've always thought so too. But it doesn't seem like any companies really buy into this any more.
After getting a few hires that only stay for 6-12 months, its a question of "is it worth it to put in the time to mentor them if they're going to be gone shortly afterwards?"
This is half tragedy of the commons of so few companies offering training and half companies being so god awful at offering raises as employees gain experience.
It has also lead to companies doing the "we only hire mid to senior level because the entry level is too flaky" which also alleviates much of the need for mentoring new grads.
It also produces the interviews where people are asking about the passion for the particular domain that the company is in, in hopes that passion will keep them around longer.
That said, if someone is planning only staying for 6-12 months regardless of the company's current pay and mentoring practices, I would agree with the "job hopping came first" as an artifact of the dot com boom days when everyone was trying to one up everyone else.
