.NET Developers score high on demand and pay



Those who are inclined to discount the popularity of .NET may not be all that
correct. I wonder what per cent of the .NET coders currently employ the BDS IDE
and how many new converts will the BDS be able to garner in the future since
thats a critical component of what the potential buyers will be evaluating.

"Two tech jobs in high demand these days are .NET (dot net) developers and
quality assurance analysts.
Developers who are expert users of Microsoft's software programming language
..NET can make between $75,000 and $85,000 a year in major cities. (See
correction.) If they pursue a job at a company that seeks someone with a
background in a given field (say, a firm looking for a .NET developer
experienced in using software related to derivatives) they might snag a salary
hike of 15 percent or more when they switch jobs.

Those who work in software quality management, meanwhile, might make $65,000 to
$75,000 a year and be able to negotiate a 10 percent to 15 percent jump in pay
if they switch jobs."
