Rails - Feb 2014 - [JOBS Feedback Needed] Looking for Ruby on Rails newcomers who used to program in other languages

Hi Folks,

I've been coding 7 years in C# Asp .Net/T-sql and recently transition to 
RoR 8 months ago. It feels hard to break into the industry without 
sufficient real-world work experience even though I've coded a site 
pre-seed funded by an accelerator in Sydney and built an iPhone app in 
Phonegap (with Javascript/HTML/CSS).

What has been your experience in transitioning? How do you find non-senior 
roles to pay the bills? 

On this note, I always believe in solving problems creatively. I wonder 
what do people think of a marketplace Website whereby programmers who are 
learning/transitioning to another language can be hired and paid at junior 
rate? Besides solving my own problem, I think I can help others in the same 
shoe solve theirs too.

Cheers,
Fai
