Hard to find a job

Is it just me or the PHP / Laravel job market is down at the moment? I love Laravel but I feel "forced" to migrate to a different ecosystem / tech stack where I can find a decent job.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

I suggest learn several technologies. What openings are you seeing? Where do you live.

I was lucky and blessed enough to have a career at a logistics (trucking company) in java ee for years.

Find a company and a niche if you can and go for it.

Usually if you can program in one back end language, another isn't that hard to learn.

Also learn php well, don't just depend on laravel jobs.
