Do jobs in open source programming suck?
Programming September 18th, 2008Recent CNN Money survey pointed out interesting results that while expert users of .NET get higher initial salaries and hefty annual increments that can go up to 15%, open source programmers get only modest hike of just two percent. A debate has been raging in the IT community as to why do .NET programmers get better salary than the open source programmers.
The debate, intentionally or unintentionally, seems to be working in favor of Microsoft, who obviously has vested interest in promoting ASP.NET. RedHat, Zope, and IBM are known as excellent paymasters to open source programmers and scout for talented programmers from open source community.
