Can’t eventually have senior engineers without giving junior engineers a chance, so good luck with that. I’ve got nearly 2 decades under my belt and I’m ready to leave.

This is definitely a problem in sectors that are boom/bust. You have senior engineers ready to retire and nobody is ready to move up into their positions because there just aren't any intermediate level engineers in the industry.
