usually the savings are in benefits, and the expectations of raises. You're also assuming they're hiring from similarly qualified and experienced. They're not. they're hiring inexperienced people with lower qualifications... and frequently, the new people will be low balled as well.
And I'm not arguing that experience is valuable, but the large companies don't see it that way. large corporations are quite literally only concerned about short term profits- the get rich quick schemes. they're not not concerned at all about producing quality products over the long term, or developing healthy work environment sore anything else. strictly what yields the highest profits in that moment.
Mostly it comes down to companies being owned by institutions like black rock or vanguard, who don’t really care about anything other than what makes money- and are perfectly okay jumping ship when it doesn’t.
This means that they’re controlled by shareholders that only care about steadily increasing profits over a very short period (quarterly).
Also just to point out that buffet doesn’t just dump everything into the s&p like he advised every one else to do. He utilizes a broad mix of strategies- including things like swing trading across opportunities his horde of fintel peeps find for him.
And let’s be honest. He’s getting completely different financial reports than we do. It’s an information game, and he pays to have the best information before anyone else. Buffet ain’t using yahoo finance.
Warren Buffett will buy and sell quickly if his investment meets or exceeds his targets. Berkshire Hathaway has a stock portfolio in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
What he won't do is act without a plan. He has a unique ability to see long term advantages, that's why he holds over the long term. Short term opportunity exists too, but many people who look for it are impatient.
