I suggest that the first job [...] even if they are new as well, will elevate you."
Hell no! This is wrong and I've seen it plenty of times. Dear new developer, go glue yourself to a senior one, make him your mentor and you'll learn a lot. Also a team of only new ones tend to rely on stackoverflow and will result in bad practices in the end.
Dear new developer, avoid teams where you have no mentor to learn from. Also, while you're around your mentor, don't pester him before you applied "the rubber duck" technique on your question/problem.
