Why Companies Are Hiring .NET Developers Remotely
.NET still powers most of the world's enterprise software, especially in financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. Senior US .NET engineers average $130,000–$165,000 per year. Southeast Asian .NET talent delivers the same depth at $2,800–$6,500 per month, vetted and ready in 24 hours.
We worked with a US-based insurance SaaS that needed a senior .NET engineer to migrate a legacy WebForms app to ASP.NET Core 9 and Blazor. Through Second Talent they hired in five days. The new app shipped six months later with a fully modern UI and 60% better page load.

.NET Developer Skills in 2026
