Tech interviews have been horribly broken for at least a decade now. They've been mostly broken for a couple decades. Fortunately I haven't had to talk to a recruiter for a job since 1998 and hopefully I never will again. Maybe call up some people you worked with before and see if their company is hiring. They most likely are.

Anyway, C# is still very relevant, but it depends on location. In my city, it's huge, in others, not so much. I tend to stick to back end work rather than front end work. Front end's flavor of the day changes way too often, and I find it to be tedious work. Back end is much less reliant on external libraries and therefore doesn't change as rapidly, and to me is much closer to actual programming.

So in summary, talk to your prior colleagues, stick to back end work (if that's your bag). Keep on truckin'

do you mind telling us which is your city, and why it's huge on C# ?
Presumably the area of WA where Microsoft resides.
if C# is not huge in other places, what is? (genuinely curious)
