title: Can a Java EE solution architect contribute in a .NET shop?
body: <p>An organization I work with is heavily invested in .NET technology, including several high-traffic ASP.NET websites that are used by internal and external customers.</p>
  
  <p>We are looking into hiring a solution architect to support these applications and work on new initiatives.
  Several of the resumes coming in are from candidates whose entire working experience is Java EE.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is it worth it to hire a Java EE architect when the environment we work in is primarily .NET? Are the skills transferrable?</p>
