Even this is becoming less valuable as bigger companies start to invest in training and mentorship.

Three people I know how graduated college recently working at big companies have senior engineers dedicating multiple hours a week to mentorship and a lot of learning opportunities. They're growing much faster than junior engineers thrown into the deep end IMO.

The faster title advancement doesn't mean much IMO. Working at a big company I can say that outside of a certain group of other big companies we just don't trust titles to have any correlation to abilities.
