I think I'm looking for a carrier who's implementing Asterisk Matt. We're a
carrier, and that probably explains a lot of the frustration, and hair tearing
out we've had with Asterisks resundancy. Ie, it wasn't built with carriers in
mind. It was build with IT implementations in mind.
Consulting, while sounding great in principle, wouldn't work right now. Already
got a day job (and there's that little issue of a non-compete clause in my
contract...). Unfortunately my record is unproven yet. We are yet to deploy our
product in production, but are moving towards it. Maybe later, especially
after the confidence increases. Good grief, wouldn't even know how to dig up
contacts.
Thanks for the advice.

>From what I've seen the Asterisk systems that most of these companies
are using are either installed or maintained by existing in-house IT
staff , so not many new dedicated positions for it. All of the
companies I have done installs for have their IT persons learn enough
to do basic configurations and maintenance and if they need something
major they go to a consultant like me.
Maybe you should consider doing some freelance consulting for
Asterisk. Asterisk consultants are in pretty high demand right now,
especially consultants with a good track record and a lot of varied
Asterisk experience.

Asterisk, why aren't they advertising for people? I've been searching all the
job sites for months now and very few things are being advertised.
