Job 1. Not happy with the work I was doing, management was pushing me to learn ASP.Net and Windows stack, wanted to continue using Linux and open source languages.
Job 2. After 5 years I felt like I was stagnating and not learning enough. We started getting projects where I was again spending lots of time in the Windows stack again.
Job 3. Job was "Remote" and an awesome learning experience but I wanted to work "global remote".
Job 4. Currently where I'm at and enjoy the freedom but I do much less development than I used to and that is starting to eat at me I think (We'll see!).
Maybe I've been lucky but I've never switched jobs for pay.
I'm totally for the open source bits, we use .Net Core heavily at my current job now. I like the change in Microsoft and windows. Still don't use Windows on the server or desktop but I like .Net core.

What's your opinion on the windows stack now that .net is open source?
