Oh, I agree with you. It absolutely comes down to the organization.

And like you said the organizations that pay very well...don't tend to use .NET. Which is what I've been seeing "in the wild".

At this point, it's just becoming increasingly hard to justify sticking with it. Especially considering I could make more money and not have to deal with so much legacy or poor development practices all the time.

In defense of those organizations though, in my experience, the interview processes have been very reasonable, i.e. no LeetCode. As long as you haven't been sleep walking through your career, it should be pretty easy to get a new position.
