Yup. Very similar language, but good luck going from ASP.NET MVC to Spring Boot without missing a beat. Or from WinForms and WPF to Swing and whatever else is new and hot in Java-land. Not to mention NuGet vs Maven, EntityFramework vs Hibernate, etc.

I think this hides/hints at a greater point, though. C# or Java is a technology choice (among many, such as which ORM to use or even whether to use an ORM at all). All technology choices have an impact, and, in my experience working with both of these and other languages, it's just as likely for two shops that chose the same programming language to have made enough other different technology choices to make the transition challenging.

No one said there wouldn't be some ramp up time. Especially if there is another senior Java dev on the team that can "show the ropes", I don't think its that bad.
If we're talking about a lead or solo dev position, it would cause issues though.
