> I hope that you are doing well. My name is Zayd. I am currently in the midst of a career change. A couple of years ago, I discovered Linux and realize that I have a passion for it. I have already completed my Bachelors degree. I recently also completed an Introduction to Linux course through the Linux Foundation. I was looking at different jobs and realized there are many different Linux Engineer positions available. I, however, do not have the necessary experience and qualifications. This is something that I would like to pursue and was wondering if you can give me information about pursuing a career in Linux. I enjoy and use Debian but I wasn’t sure who to get in touch with this. If you do not have the information, can you point me in the direction of someone either at Debian or elsewhere who could help me learn how to get into a career with Linux Administration or Software Development geared towards Linux. Thank you and best wishes!
The best option is to pick a job that you would like to have. The
debian-jobs mailing list, as well as the FOSSjobs site and the links
on the FOSSjobs wiki are useful sources of Linux and FLOSS related
jobs. Then review the requirements for the positions you are
interested in, start learning the skills needed and do work on the
related projects as a volunteer in your spare time. Eventually you
will have a track record of relevant experience that will be enough to
apply for the jobs you are interested in.
