Several of the companies I've worked at had this exact issue. So we'd hire a few people fresh out of college train to them to an acceptable standard, then watch them find another higher paying job. Leadership refused to pay good developers, their market worth. It might be important to note the CEO from the uk, where I hear developers are paid less than America.

I've heard that too, but I also hear they work less hours, have better vacation, and other benefits. You'll have to balance something out if you really want great employees.

Our CEO from the uk didn't bring any of those benefits over.
