With the new 1 year TC, this will be brought forward to ~ 0.5 PQE. Why wouldn't the firm keep them around to make full use of their enhanced capabilities? There's still couple more good years when they're still considered relatively low PQE and not too expensive.

1.5 year mark - you can bring in sales? You can do business development? You can handle management meetings? The type of work you do from 0-2pqe is inconsequential that’s why the UK TC is 2 years. And after that for the first 3-5 years the firm uses its goodwill to help you more than the other way around.
Unless you have a book of clients, you are no different from a NQ even if you’re a SA, because if the NQ worked really hard everyday, he or she can master everything. Practice is not rocket science.
Why so many ppl plateau off at SA and stay stuck for a very long time is because the skills are simply irrelevant for the next tier.
With AI things will get even much more faster and more efficient. Which means you need lesser ppl rather than more ppl to perform a task.
