Not sure I agree with this one. Over the last few years, I've had tons of consulting work purely from my activity in the OSS ecosystem. I also got my last two jobs because of my activity in the OSS ecosystem. "... I saw your GH profile and noticed you have significant contributions to XXX, we'd love to have you join the team". I didn't have to do any algorithm questions for those organizations.
