jobs & salaries

[Micah DesJardins]

I'm going to jump on Vic's bandwagon here a moment. When I'm involved in a 
hiring, I'm far more interested in how smart and how trainable a person is 
vs. the skillset they are bringing in. Yes, I want to know that they've done 
cool / interesting stuff but I'm not hung up on what that was exactly.
 It's been my experience that people rarely end up doing 'the job they were 
hired to do' and your best bet is to get someone with a brain and some drive 
and do the best to hold onto them long enough that they produce for you.
 Re: Best Unix debuggers, I'm surprised no one mentioned TotalView.
 Re: Open Source jobs.. Sure they aren't as easy to come by as M$ ones, but 
the market looks better for them then it did ten years ago and there are 
lots of people out there making a living working in Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python 
and all manner of other non-Microsoftian methods of coding.
