I wonder if there is a competitive advantage to be had there? UMaine is a pretty good system. When I retired, I taught math at UMF for a little while, so I got to see the system from the inside.

UMF has one of the best teaching programs in the country. They even have a CS path that is judged well.

Maybe recruiting at the small State universities is a potential edge?

Please don’t. Our hiring pipeline is almost completely from these schools.

You get great talent that big tech companies won’t interview!

And you can underpay them, which is a nontrivial part of my concern.

No insult intended, I would rather they benefit and not you.

Not really. We don’t operate in an insanely overpriced metro, so a grossly underpaid person probably takes Home more than the average tech company person out of college.

Nobody is making the big money that elite engineers make though.

Moneyball for college grads?
