Yes, three separate jobs to date over a span of 16 years. However, none of those three jobs directly utilised my open source contributions over the last 20 years. They made use of the skills I had, and which those open source contributions demonstrated publicly.
I didn't start working on open source projects because I wanted to get a job, and have some fodder for padding my CV. I worked on them because I was interested, and got deeply involved in several over many years. I think getting involved solely for getting a job, is doing it for the wrong reasons. You need some intrinsic interest as well.
