Last time I had trouble getting a job I just looked at what the most popular language was in my city. Then proceeded to read a book on C# and make a quick and dirty demo project. Had a job within two weeks after looking for months. It was kind of annoying switching to Windows dev but whatever do what you gotta do.
- hall0ween 4y agoHow did you find programming language popularity by city?
- wincy 4y agoI mean at the time like five years ago I just literally opened LinkedIn, searched for software engineering jobs, and did a tally of the first 200 jobs or so on a piece of paper. About 50 were C# and 50 were Java, and then a mixture of other stuff. Pretty low tech but it got me a job. I came from a background of doing Elixir and Node.js backend which if someone recognized Elixir seemed to get me brownie points for doing something interesting. I guess whatever site you’re using to look for job listings you could do the same.

- cvhashim 4y ago.NET core/C# is pretty dope though and its the most widely used in fortune 500s in the backend aside from Java. It’s much less verbose than Java and any Junior engineer can pick it up if they’ve worked with OOP based languages or even JavaScript.
