@dimkr Yeah, I got that feeling too. And it's kinda weird that backend these days is also TS/JS with Node.js.

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.

An "old .NET software engineer" is exactly what some teams need, especially in "old" companies that use .NET. · 10 months ago

Depends on where you live... Here in the Netherlands you can easily get a decent job as a .NET dev · 10 months ago
