I was basically about to post this as well. You want to find a decently large company that has its business model figured out so you don't have to stress about where your salary will be coming from. You probably won't be able to pick a low-stress team unless you already have connections or inside info there. But you can generally network around the company after getting hired: technology interest groups, non-technology interest groups, recruiting trips, internal chatrooms, folks working on the same open source tech, etc. If you start out in a mediocre-to-bad team, you can often figure out how to get transferred to a better situation within a couple years.
