NET vacancies are many times more than candidates willing to consider a job offer. Especially in demand are specialists working with technologies such as: Silverlight, NHibernate, ASP.NET MVC, most positions require experience with the .NET framework from version 3.5 and higher.
Acutely lacking Lead developers.

- The possibility of real career growth.
A sufficient number of projects and a full-fledged infrastructure in them allows you to grow high-quality specialists. However, career growth is slowing.

Also, the quality and number of specialists increases competition within projects.
- Ability to try different development and management methodologies.

- High requirements for candidates.
The selection process is characterized by a long (usually about 1.5 hours) and complex technical interview.
From the start, the Junior candidate needs to know the database, the theory of OOP, ideally, mathematics.

Sooner you have to make a choice between web development and winform applications - companies do not consider candidates with winform background for positions in web projects.
