I think she's relatively happy there, well, at least she's not unhappy. From everything I've heard it does seem like a pretty good company to work for as far as a tech company goes (esp as a woman; probably helps that the founder/CEO is a woman and not a tech-bro). It also helps that her significant other also works there (they both joined Epic out of college along with a third college buddy with whom they still share a flat). She's said she probably won't stay long-term, but not clear on what "next" would be. Madison is a nice place to live and she likes it there. But you're right about deep knowledge of MUMPS is valuable in sectors that have to maintain legacy systems, a bit like knowing FORTRAN. Originally upon graduation she wanted to work for a small Pharma company (drug R&D) but wasn't willing to wait for an opening, so maybe she'll end up with that. Or do a masters or PhD first. Does your daughter want to move on because she doesn't like working at Epic or more like she wants to do something else or a different type of company?
