You still haven't proven how those people making a living on .NET/Microsoft stacks careers are suffering. Habe you actually seen people suffering, like from war and poverty?

Also, dvelopment careers being "global" is mostly in theory. In practice it doesn't work everywhere. Some countries don't have global remote work opportunities due to tax and labor laws making that very difficult meaning you're stuck with what the local market offers. And those few global remote jobs get hundreds of applications so actually getting one is almost impossible especially in the current bear market.

There's no shortage of full stack developers globally willing to work for cheap. Competing globally in this race to the bottom is no good if you work in a high CoL area unless you score a high paying FaNG or scale-up but getting such jobs is insanely competitive that's not realistic for most people I know.



That's some hyperbole right there, I'm just saying that they get paid less than they could and generally have worse working condition that they could have, that's all. Again, that's okay if they are aware of this tradeoff.

That has to be the worst argument here, even Microsoft themselves outsources their own .NET work to India.
