I wasn't that brazen - I just told them that I couldn't accept that. To
their benefit I've noticed that for many Inky classifieds posts MLP put
their home numbers in to receive weekend phone calls, and they have a
contract placement department which _does not_ make you sign away some % if
you don't stay some min length.
Networking is key. Obviously PLUG is a good place. I am on
<http://www.panma.org> and <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Phillyjobs/> as
these are relevant for me.
Here's a very recent /. link on OSS employment
<http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/02/2054256&mode=thread&;
