How to proceed
I am in love with Microsoft Technologies, esp .NET.
I love working on WPF and MVVM Pattern as well as WCF, though I am not that well versed in Blend.
But everywhere I go in my country, its plain old maintenance projects, there are no development projects to work on, esp new MSFT technologies.
I do want to try open source coding.;
But with a full time job on hand, its very difficult.
What is a career path for me, keeping in mind that I want to be a programmer for another good 10+ years. Should I migrate to another country all together looking out for openings or should I stay in my country and follow the current career path, becoming a project manager someday.
