I read article a few years ago that described why this happens.

It boils down to this, people with zero experiences are in it for the $, and they will not stay around. It takes 1 to 2 years to take a jr to mid level. During that time, you are stealing time from Sr devs that could be producing something else.

The conclusion of the article, is that it is a huge risk taking bootcamp graduates because if they end up working out, they will take the first job offer that the time spent is wasted.

Partly reason why on the last teams I been on, we refuse, because we get burned every time. We wait till management has enough budget to hire a senior to avoid these issues.

My advice, accept those low paying offers, get the 1-2 to years experience. After you prove yourself, people will come and go while at the job. You can join one of those companies after you prove yourself.
