Is that a problem?
I mean, the same thing happens with literal surgeons/doctors and residency, where their early years of career eventually end and they expect a mid-level position in the organization.
It sounds like a healthy industry that juniors/apprentices work under journeymen and masters at a large organization early in their career, then move up or branch out after a few years.
I'm not sure why companies expect to be able to cost-optimize away a functioning economy, but remain in business.
