my personal opinion (and I haven't lived down here that long) which may not hold water: stay in Boston. Pickin's are a little slim around here in the Linux World. ____________________________________ Jason Sowers Network Engineer Open Systems International 3600 Holly Lane North Suite 40 Minneapolis, MN 55447-1286 Phone: (763) 551-0559 Fax: (763) 551-1750 Email: jsowers at osii.com <mailto:jsowers at osii.com> http: www.osii.com <http://www.osii.com> & www.e-scada.com <http://www.e-scada.com> -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of duncan Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 1:00 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [TCLUG] Linux/Unix Job Sceene Hello- I am brand new to this list, and i am very sorry if this has ben covered, i didnt see it anywhere. I am writing to ask what the linux / unix / open source job sceene is like in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. I am a native to MN, however I am living in Boston currently. I lived in MN thru my years at Saint Johns, and then moved to Boston for more internet type jobs. I currently hold a position as a linux systems administrator at a start-up that isint really a startup. (we are approx 60 people, recently closed a VC round of just closed a round of funding for about $20 million and are much more stable and 'normal' that your traditional startup. Anyways, I am moving back to MSP area at the end of june and will be needing a job. I dont really know anything about the market for linux/unix sys admin types. Or for any linux type jobs for that matter. Would you as a community be willing to help shed some light on the market and the kinds of opportunities in Minneapolis and St paul currently? Pointers to resources (beyond the monster.com, hotjobs.com....) I have thought that a university jobs may be cool, and i see that the company that does GFS is in minneaplois, as well as someone working with WINE. Any information would be appreciated, as well as any feedback on salary ranges and cost of living stuff. Thank you very much, i look forward to joining the LUG meetings when I move back! thanks again- -- || || || || || || duncan shannon .-. duncan at sodatrain.com /v\ // \\ /( )\ L I N U X ^^-^^ >Phear the Penguin< _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
