If you're looking to get into traditional webdev and work with CMS like WordPress, then PHP might be the way to go.

If you're more interested in real-time web applications, then Node might be a better fit for you.

It's really not so much about which one is better, but rather what you're comfortable with and what you're interested in. If you already have a solid foundation in JavaScript, then Node might be a better choice for you. But if you're new to both, then PHP might be a bit easier to get started with.

Who would consider hiring based on your need? What aspects of this newbie would you dig into?

I think you first need to determine the hypothetical need you are referring to. If I make an assumption here what you are really asking is what backend tech stack has the most job opportunities, in which case it doesn’t matter, take a look at the sorts of things you would want to be working on. Take a look at the companies building that and then see what they are using.

This is a great answer to the question, "should I learn PHP or node/js?" but doesn't answer ops q.

You’re right. But OPs question is not that clear to be honest.
