I worked on a big C# system with hundreds of windows servers, developed on Visual Studio etc. It was an awesome project and everything worked like clockwork. However there are very few projects using that technology so when I wanted to move I had trouble getting interviews.
I'm now working with a very fashionable tech stack, its horrible, infrastructure is regularly broken, people can't trace problems easily, our functionality is still not as good as what we had in the earlier project 10 years ago. Still because we're trendy we get paid 2x as much and I get asked to apply elsewhere all the time.
I've given up trying to pick what is the best software platform/language. Just find the highest profile tech company and stick with what they do. Not only are they hiring but all the companies who copy that tech stack want the same.
