Stick with the dark side but take on a specialism otherwise you'll get seeking .net/sharepoint/sps/moss architect/developer gigs thrown at you for the rest of eternity as the sales bodies at ms just lurve to sell it as a panacea for all the world's IT problems and i don't know anyone who actually likes it other than the punters.
Of course if you want to settle on a really fat vein for a few years, Seeking c# .net MS Office SharePoint Server BizTalk expert gigs are a callin!

TDD and design patterns
[quote=lambrini_socialist;541706]if you're into TDD and design patterns, please do come over to .NET as there are still far too many drag-n-drop forms cowboys in circulation.

Got a shock when I started interviewing again, no room for bulltulip

do you think I should leave and carry on a Java track or use the opportunity to broaden my skills base and knowledge

Sorry,
If your Java is very strong then it is not a problem.

I need career advice.
I am seniorish level Java developer being offered a long term .Net contract.
Same deal applies TDD, Using linx, and they want to use MVC design pattern on the .Net app.
I am worried about losing hardwon java skills and weary to embark on a new learnign curve again even though C# and Java are pretty interchangable and the design patterns and methodologies for the two platforms appear to be converging in a way.
I can easily get another gig, but my question is do you think I should leave and carry on a Java track or use the opportunity to broaden my skills base and knowledge
I suppose there are pros and cons but I would love some valuable insights even if they are hidden within sarky comments, veiled insults and generally smart alec and off color remarks.
Insight from DA as an rec agent will also be tolerated
