.Net Programmers Fall in CNN's Top 5 In-Demand 602
GT_Alias writes "CNN Money is reporting that .Net programmers are one of the top 5 most in-demand jobs. Of the positions where recent surveys have indicated a labor shortage, .Net developers and QA analysts are the two that fell under the 'technology' category. According to CNN Money, .Net developers can make between $75-85K starting out in major cities, with the potential to make 15% more if they have a particular proficiency. Additionally, QA workers can make $65-75K a year with the ability to negotiate a 10-15% pay jump if they switch jobs. How does this information compare with the Slashdot crowd's real-world experience?"

And unfortunately, the guy we ended up hiring had lied on his resume about his 2 years of .NET experience... he was hoping to learn "on the job" as it were, and we ended up having to fire him and rewrite all the code he had written, which was, of course, awful.

I have a university degree in CS and have been working in the industry for about a decade now... and I REFUSE to work with anything Microsoft related. I would not take a job because of it and I will quit a job that introduces it later.
More jobs for the shmoo's who have no personal integrity... good... I don't f*cking care!
Death to Microsoft!
