I've been on two interviews recently, and both saw experience in .NET as a negative. I found myself having to down-play experience in .NET in both cases, in order to guide the discussion toward more applicable skills for the role. Even when you may be a polyglot programmer, interviewers tend to label you as .NET or Microsoft. Which, has apparently become a bad thing. Unless you're interviewing with a Fortune-100 company, in which case, .NET is still somewhat popular.

I would think twice about joining an organization that thinks negatively of your former experience in a different stack. Sure, they may not be relevant to the job at hand, but good programmers will write good code in whatever stack they have to work in.

It would probably be pretty crappy to work under technical leadership with that kind of mind set anyway.
