Upgrade for a new hire will likely be very different from the 7+ year waits that people experienced in the past.

Upgrade time dropped 2.5 years in the recent bid, and future bids should cause it to drop significantly as well.
Got it. Thanks.

Talked to a really nice recruiter earlier and I told him this was my biggest concern with XJT.

Everything else about XJT is great, but the long upgrades times have got to be hurting recruiting.
