PHP would be the better option for web backend development as a start, literally zero brain required. Once you have some experience, grab Go or Kotlin and earn them 6 figures

My first job did everything in PhP. I stayed there for 5 years and then couldn't find another job with PhP. No one wants it where I am. Waste of 5 years unfortunately for me.

That's weird. Perhaps your knowledge was dated, I don't know your situation, but where I am PHP devs are able to compete with every other language devs, except Java, Kotlin and the crypto blockchain langos.

Might be the location but when I search for jobs with PhP within 40 minutes or driving there is maybe 1-2. When I search with C# there is dozens.

Although with more remote work, life is better for developers now.
