I want to push this outside engineering. It sounds like they want to train computers, not employees. Which, I don't know about your fields, but folk aren't exactly looking to mentor their future competition in the financial industry. So you pretty much get to teach yourself or go back to school.

    Historically (at least in orgs that aren't maximally toxic) software engineering has actually had a great culture of seniors helping Junior and midlevels grow. IME most of us enjoy mentoring, and further enjoy having someone else who can do the boring shit for us. It's why, despite incompetent management being the norm, the industry has succeeded as much as it has.

    Unfortunately I think this is changing now. The ownership class has finally pushed too far and I think a sizeable portion of us have realized that we devs have to stop maintaining the engineering cultures of our orgs to fight back.
