Not sure about .NET, but I know Java devs do quite well, although many do end up working on some pretty boring legacy business apps / "enterprise software" inside rather stifling organisations.

From my experience inside a large public sector organisation, Java training is far more formalized than open source web training, the teams are larger and more structured and there are far more rigorous planning and documentation practices than most people in the web world would be comfortable with.

Still didn't stop them producing some pretty awful software though (particularly where it intersected with the web space)

IMO there was too much emphasis on procedure and formality and far less emphasis on listening to what people wanted and delivering it on time and with a usable interface. Having said that, I'm sure that my isolated experience isn't representative of the industry as a whole.

Paul
