Maximizing Career Growth With .NET
Hello everyone. 2 YOE developing .NET, trying to figure out where I could potentially take things in the future. I feel like FAANG just isn't interested in the MS stack (which is totally understandable) but I'm trying to figure out where the highest bidders are for .NET developers. Can anyone let me know which companies hire a lot of .NET devs or what the consulting world looks like for .NETers? Thanks everyone.
Lol who tf actually uses .NET
I suggest move away from .net as you will gain skills more useful for future
.NET is good for consulting. That’s about it.
Uh, like half of all enterprise? C# is one of the top 5 programming languages on pretty much every tech list. I have worked with many architect consultants and .NET/C# is always a favorite. Tech is 100 times bigger than the little sliver you know.
Who are you talking to lol
fcyl, stop drinking the kool aid by Microsoft
OP I noticed that the FAANG obsessed folks ignored your question. The companies where you can consult as a .NET engineer are usually financial services, insurance, healthcare, any of the highly-regulated business-centric industries that have a lot of complex back-end workflow and orchestration. An example application you might be working on is a robo-advisory service in wealth management at one of the big financial institutions. If you haven’t worked in other parts of tech (the more diverse parts IMHO), you can’t really understand how big it is. Have you thought about applying to some of the enterprise-focused consultancies? Slalom, TCS, HCL, Magenic, Capgemini... there are a lot more.
.NET to Java is a really easy switch and most companies should understand that
What are typical rates for .net consulting gigs these days?
Nobody cares if your background is in .NET. The switch to Java is pretty easy (though Java sucks compared to C#). Pick up a bit of JavaScript or Python and you'll be good. If you really want to stick to .NET... Microsoft Cornerstone Financial firms (incl banks) Consulting shops
Doesn’t matter what tech stack you are familiar for FAANG, as long as you can leetcode and design apps
Does Netflix care?
