Most employers seem to consider Windows programming and *nix programming to be unrelated (and sysadmin is on a completely different planet), so they prefer to consider me for entry-level positions. When I manage to convince them that I can do the job, then they can't believe that I'd be willing to take a pay cut like that and turn me down for being overqualified. (In one case, a small local ISP turned me down and managed to give as reasons that I was overqualified and that the guy they took had more experience. In the same sentence.) -- SGI products are used to create the 'Bugs' that entertain us in theatres and at home. - SGI job posting Geek Code 3.1: GCS d? s+: a- C++ UL++$ P++>+++ L+++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- V?
