Can't decide: C# or Java?

Question

Career in IT

Well, I have a very difficult (for me) choice to make: I need to decide which programming language I should be into specifically and go deep and connect my life with it - C# or Java. On the one hand, Java in the top is more popular than C#, Java often has ~1.5-2 times more vacancies than sharp (and not only in Russia). But I still don’t know Java at all, but I do know C # and WPF (but I don’t need to say why I need to decide if I have already started learning C #). So, if there are those here who were faced with the same choice or know all the advantages of both YaPs, then please help me decide. I don’t care about complexity, if it’s better to learn Java, and not C #, then I’m ready to relearn, so judge not from my position, but from the position of an independent programmer, please. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

if you are sure/thinking "I'll learn language X and life will be in full swing", I have bad news for you. life, of course, will score, but at all (and most likely, since you are asking such questions) in the wrong way.
Yap generally solves little. the developer applies not only knowledge and skills from related areas (which do not depend on the language at all), but also soft skills (first of all, sociability), which, again, do not depend on yap .
work should be rewarding. then there will be success and money. choosing a direction according to hypothetical earnings is a road to nowhere.
