I’m currently confused between learning the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) or .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core). I see that most people around me are learning JavaScript and MERN stack, and it’s popular too. But because everyone is learning JavaScript, I’m wondering if it would be better for me to learn .NET instead to stand out.
I want to know from people working in the industry — which one is better for a fresher in terms of job opportunities? Also, which one is easier to learn for someone who knows basic programming like C/C++ and HTML, CSS and basics of JavaScript? I am currently in 4th semester of my BTech degree.
I also want to know if .NET still has good scope in 2025, or is MERN safer to go with for job security and growth? Do companies in India hire freshers for .NET roles? And what's the salary difference in general between the two?Mostly my freinds and some relative who is experianced developer said that there no future for .NET.Job Market for .NET is destroying.
If I should learn .NET, please suggest some resources to begin with.
