The real problem with hiring juniors is that tech does not have flexible pay. Realistically, hiring juniors is high risk high reward so they should naturally be on some kind of probational pay.

Companies hire juniors at low rates, but then when they like them they don't increase the rates. Instead the juniors leave for another company.
