>Juniors need to learn by falling on their face a few times, if companies don't want to train them then they'll never become seniors.

It's rare that anyone gets trained by a company who doesn't already know something and is pivoting to a new role. It's unfortunate but that's just the way it's always been. Juniors have to be proactive and bust their ass to become mid level, usually by learning new stuff at home through building stuff on their own and reading obsessively. The hardest part for a junior to get is their first paid job, and more often than not, that first job will be at a shit hole. Juniors should take advantage of it and really bust their ass to impress them and improve themselves. Once they get a couple of strong learning years under their belts, it gets a bit easier.

If you are a junior and the company is paying you to learn stuff, consider yourself extremely lucky.

Companies are in desperate need of strong talent. To succeed, juniors need to force themselves to become strong talent.
