I actually think C# is pretty decent for a big general purpose language, but I understand this sentiment. No one wants to talk to me about anything other than .NET positions. I can usually squeeze a decent raise out of it, but I'm approaching my ceiling.

I feel the same way and can understand where the original comment is coming from. To your point, I also think I’ve reached the ceiling too salary wise.

Was talking to a recruiter who specializes in recruiting for tech and product companies. The C# positions he had topped out at what other languages started at for senior developers.

I like C# it’s just it feels like it’s all enterprise jobs with bad development practices.
