3 months down and I still unemployed. No place for a old .NET software engineer I guess...

@dimkr Yeah, I got that feeling too. And it's kinda weird that backend these days is also TS/JS with Node.js. I don't love it very much but I know how to use it (I think it brings problems that at first didn't existed). But anyway, yes, as a software engineer I see myself more like overseeing a project, shaping the product than just working on some issues. But lets see... · 4 months ago
@acidus @lykso Thanks for the support. I'm almost bouncing back... hope to have some news soon. · 4 months ago
@fripster Curiosly I was called by 2 or 3 companies earlier past year. But one wanted Java/Spring Boot and the other two were using node.js and other stuff. Yet to find one for .NET (that also relocates) · 4 months ago
That's really hard @ivanodin, I'm sorry your are going throug that. · 5 months ago
It depends on context. We have many "fullstack developers" and "frontend developers" here, it's easy to get a job if you know TypeScript and MongoDB/Firebase. I'm in a small company that hires only senior developers, but candidates don't want backend, C# and SQL. An "old .NET software engineer" is exactly what some teams need, especially in "old" companies that use .NET. · 5 months ago
Depends on where you live... Here in the Netherlands you can easily get a decent job as a .NET dev · 5 months ago
It seems like a bad time to be an unemployed tech worker, what with all the recent layoffs. 🫤 · 5 months ago
