Generally first grads aren’t worth much. I have trained a lot of interns and no exaggeration I can put out easily 8x as much work as they can. It isn’t magic, it is just experience. Additionally whenever a fresh grad is hired, in what I have seen, there were a dozen or so candidates just as qualified.

I have been doing my line of work for 15 years and I am not confident I would be able to win a bidding war.
