True, but most companies are going to look at them as no better than recent grads if they need to retrain.

Imagine what a guy makes that's been at Cisco for 15 years? Now imagine what you can pay a recent graduate or H1B.

They can retrain as big data specialists! No long term experts out there. A graduate with 1y experience is a veteran.
