They’re not paying them that much- $160 000 over four years, including tuition. So it’s $40 000 a year, which is a great deal imo (for both parties).

I assume that, with sufficient screening, you can get someone contributing relatively quickly, and start getting value. I think the key is the screening- they’re not giving this offer to every CS student. At the places I’ve worked, we’ve definitely got value out of interns comparable to a junior developer.

For 40k you can hire senior engineers with degrees in Europe.

Europe is a big place. Certainly can't hire a senior engineer with a degree for 40k where I live. Even for a junior it would be low.

Lucky for you living in a high GDP country, in Central and Eastern Europe you certainly can.

That’s 27.5K euro.
