It's a top-heavy market because the industry-wide growth and momentum was 2001-2008. Since that period, the available alternatives for entry into a dev career have increased. Python/Ruby/JavaScript tend to be what most juniors are encouraged to focus on. There are new waves of C# enthusiasts, but the growth in dev overall has drowned it out.

We’ve had good interviewees who flat-out told us they weren’t interested in working with any Microsoft stack—including C#, .NET, and Azure—and they definitely weren’t the only ones. Betting on Python, JS, and Go is way safer, and many new startups reflect that.
