I'm pretty sure there are a lot of "decent" jobs out there that use C#. I saw a lot of C# used when I was working at Hedge Funds. Those overwhelmingly weren't the best paid jobs, but mostly back office/reporting jobs.

My personal take on this is that companies predominantly that work in other languages tend to pay more, and hence C# is a less desirable language to learn. This is especially true of the current crop of high paying companies (FAANG + some unicorns). None of them seem to be deep into the C# stack.

However Azure and C#/.Net aren't necessarily tied together. I've seen a lot of companies deploying other languages on top of Azure.

It's a bit of a pity with C#. C# is an excellent languages with great tooling. F# is IMO an even better language which needs a little more investment in tooling.
