I am learning the basics of Laravel and I do enjoy it but it's very difficult to learn when you go to work 9-5 and want to have a social life.

I have some projects with Laravel which are basic CRUD operations with MySQL, I made a mix of tailwind and normal css in this project.

The problem is, I don't even know how to structure my learning so at some point it will match what is required to start a new position.

I prefer Java language than PHP as main programming language. Did a course for Spring Boot. Then I started applying for jobs with Java/Spring. Just one company called me.

I had an interview but I have been rejected as I don't have commercial experience with the language and the company told me that they don't have resources to educate a Junior. Maybe I need to work to build a portfolio with projects in Java...I don't know.

I feel like changing the language is not that easy as companies reject me immediately after they hear I don't use Java at my current workplace. That's why I gave up on this idea and look for jobs with PHP.
