I used to get pinged about open VMS positions (usually at that same place I had recently left), but even that dried up about 6-7 years ago. It's been nearly all Linux (with a wee bit of Solaris) recently. Ten years ago, there were still open positions in the States, and few individuals left with any recent experience to fill them (that was one specific complaint from the manager that hired me - recruiters kept sending him candidates that hadn't touched VMS in 5 years or more and would have to be relocated from one coast or the other. I had 3-year-old daily experience and lived 15 minutes from the office. That clinched the job). In the past 5 years, I've heard nary a whisper of VMS in commercial circles. Not saying it isn't there somewhere, but wherever it is, they aren't posting for new hires. -ethan
