Ask HN: Which career to choose?
2 comments
Go with PHP/Laravel if you want to freelance or start your own software business down the road, and want to build more generalist skills, and Java if you want to get hired by bigger companies and their departments and need more job security, and maybe want to specialize in a specific backend niche at that company.
Java - Variety of future [Web, Desktop, Mobile] - develop for any platform. Hard to enter - better the future.
PHP - Mostly only for the web - easy to enter - future just ok or very competitive and easy looking opportunity.
