The 2 .NET shops I was in had a pretty bad way of commoditizing the developers working there (and thus started believing offshoring was the way in this, the year of our lord, 2011).

This also led to them working in bringing the code to the lowest common denominator level and was a frustrating nightmare. I was a lone wolf and when I mentioned that I had implemented a couple systems using MVC and jQuery on the front end it blew some of the developer's minds. It's a shame because the framework is capable of a lot, it's just the enterprise shops are terrible of taking advantage of it.

Needless to say, I'm not a .NET developer anymore.

out of interest, what language/framework are you working with now?

I switched to doing a lot of Flex/Flash/Actionscript and JavaScript related work. I was basically working along the entire stack when I was doing .NET work.
