Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated a significant amount of time and resources to OpenStreetMap as a personal interest. Recently, I’ve pondered the possibility of leveraging my experience as a seasoned software engineer to explore opportunities within the industry.
The idea of training new mappers, including students, also crossed my mind. However, I questioned whether there is a financial incentive for newcomers and whether there are viable job prospects in the field.
To delve into this matter, I decided to conduct a survey:
What’s your financial involvement in the mapping/geospatial industry?
- Engaging in this solely as a hobby
- Volunteering for an organization without financial compensation
- Independent Consultant in the industry
- Employed by a non-profit organization
- Employed by a small company/startup
- Employed by a large/medium-sized company
