switching from Java to microsoft?

hi guys, for someone that has been using java 99% of the time, what is it like joining microsoft? do they use java? C or C++ seems like would take a long time to get used to, with many years of Java experience.

Most of Microsoft products use C#, it’s just a nicer version of Java, you’ll feel right at home

Lol, this is what I hate about “Java developers”, any new language or tech stack and they are wayyyy out of their comfort zone! Chill, C# is just a nicer version of Java.

Plenty of work in any language here. Language shouldn't matter though while working. Learn the language as you work.

Stop thinking about it and you will be fine. BTW, am in the same boat, not completely because I have been doing python in like last 1 year

Cpp is so similar to java. I agree that the STL and building tools are completely different tho.

A true SWE can pick up any programming language and do their job. Clearly you are not a good engineer. You should just stay in your Java world.
