I'm a second-year Computer Engineering student currently interning at a payment company in the POS department. I have some experience with C/C++ and I'm familiar with the basics of Python. I'm looking to dive into backend development but I'm torn between learning Django or .NET. Which one typically offers better pay? I'm open to any suggestions or recommendations!

In the end, it all comes down to what's available in your area and what you're most interested in. A good software engineer can pick up both, so I'd suggest going with the one that excites you more!
If you enjoy working with C, you might find ASP.NET and C# to be a good fit for backend development. Django is great too, but technically, .NET can also handle web development. It’s important to focus on what you enjoy to remain motivated.
Totally agree! Passion helps a lot in staying engaged.
Both Django and .NET are solid choices, and their salary potential can vary depending on your local job market. I’d suggest looking into job postings in your area to get a sense of which framework is more in demand. Generally speaking, I don’t think there’s a significant salary gap between the two.
I've dabbled with both, but I've noticed that .NET seems to have more job openings compared to Django in my experience. However, it really boils down to personal preference and what you're excited about.
Typed languages like C# tend to have advantages in larger projects over more loosely typed ones. But honestly, the specific projects or companies can impact salaries more than the language itself. You might find that what you work on matters more than what language you choose to learn.
Exactly! Choosing something that excites you can make a big difference in how well you learn it.
