As a manager, you want your employees to remain for 4 plus years. It takes 6 months for them to get up to speed, another year to become fully integrated and really, in terms of ROI, years 2-4 are the time you get the best value. How do you get folks to stay, if it's not pay, create a great culture. Make the work enjoyable, thank your employees on a regular basis, get to know them as a person. Another recommendation is to create a culture of mentoring. Ask your senior engineers to take the junior and entry level engineer under their wing. Your senior level team "gives back" and it helps team bonding..
It seems that 1-3 years is the norm. I would love to see if this is impacted by generational changes.
