Comment on Ask HN: ASP.NET practical in terms of job prospects?

Comments

Yes, ASP.NET MVC is very practical.

It's not completely main stream in the .NET community right now, and you will find that a lot of enterprises are still on Web Forms. None of that matters in the slightest though.

You do not want to work anywhere that isn't looking to make a move to MVC, or that is under the impression that knowing MVC you can't figure Web Forms out on the job.

I just left one employer (50,000 + employees) doing MVC (along with Web Forms, RoR, iPhone and other stuff), to move to another much smaller (but better paying) employer doing MVC. I live in flyover country (Knoxville TN) and am getting close to west coast rates doing MVC.
