[AusNOG] Off Topic - Brisbane recruitment recommendations

[Bill Walker]

Salary isn't everything, most of the people I would put in your basket are interested in flexibility too. That's the main reason I haven't moved.

 The struggle with Azure is that it's new to MS folks too, i have spent the day getting an ASAv running and in turn trying to understand the mechanics of Routing inside vNET's (UDR, BGP and system routes). The MS solutions guys in the US couldn't help us. I've now sent my work off to them for peer review. 

It's hard to learn when there are only a few people to bounce your ideas off and burn time with.

I've been doing some consulting for a couple of tech recruitment firms advising them how to talk to their customers about the need to take someone with 'certain' skills and grow them in the right direction as opposed to pre-built people with experience.
