they left the company because they could get a "better pay" anywhere else.

For offshore outsourcing company, their only business model is: amount they receive per resource - A. salary per resource - B. fix cost at company level. i.e. office rent, office maintenance, etc.

And Project manager's OKR are mostly to increase margin. Project manager have only control over A. hence they will always try to hire junior resource. So good resource often have to waste time in spoon feeding to rest of the team and they will leave the company as soon as they got better offer/company.

Yeah, I don't blame the person for leaving. It's either the company increasing margin too much, or more likely the executives in this country not understanding the full implications of this model on tech projects. It might work for call centers where you read off a script, but building software is different.
