Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Open Source Jobs?

stry_cat writes "My company has bought into the FUD and is going 100% Microsoft. Rather than work in this environment and be continuously at odds with upper management, I have decided to seek employment elsewhere. Where do I look for an open source job? I've started with the local paper's Sunday classifieds. I've looked on dice.com and monster.com. However almost all are Microsoft related. The few that aren't are some sort of dinky contract or temp job. So is there a place to find a job in an open source environment?"

Hi! Skilled people can find jobs. If you can't find one, it's because you suck, you're not trying or you have unreasonable expectations.

Have a nice day.

Before you quit!

Let me know where your working, I need a job, and I am not about to let a operating system pissing contest keep me from taking yours.

Chances are that their sudden exclusive use of Microsoft is just the tip of the iceberg.

Given that the company:

• Decided to switch their entire infrastructure to a single-vendor solution, and
• Hired the article submitter in the first place

It seems that making poor decisions is something that they have experience with.

There is a reason FOSS is in a niche, and MS is the platform of choice for almost every business class system... It works in a way that a lot of people can deal with.

So does rape for some rapists. What's your point?
