I've been out of AOL for about 16 months and, while there are a lot of IT applicants, there are none that compare with the experience for high-scale, fast-paced application development that AOL produces. I found .NET adoption really odd. Most people that use it are small companies or larger companies running it and java applications. I have found that non-profits are a great place if you are interested in open-source involvement. Free is free and they are generally open for contributing back to the common good.

I wish you guys the best of luck, but you don't really need it. There's always a market for super talented people with experience working on products with massive scale. Great post.
