Many people are reflecting that it is difficult for PHP to find a job now. Is this really the case?

Yes, I resigned from php five years ago before the epidemic, and now I have been unemployed for almost five months. It is very difficult to find a job.

Let's talk about the results first. Developers who only know PHP are really hard to find a job now.

First, there is less demand

Due to the epidemic, some small companies have closed down. Now the situation is that there are many people and few companies, and the competition is fierce. If you only know php, your competitiveness is relatively low, and now you are developing towards full-stack development. Even if you don't develop towards full-stack, at least you should know something about linux system or another popular programming language besides php.

second, the function is named irregularly, and the position of passing parameters is different

Let's look at a joke on the Internet:

Three programmers are sitting in a cubicle programming.

programmer a doesn't say a word, he uses python.

programmer b writes for a while, then clicks compile, and then plays with his mobile phone for a while. He used C++.

C programmers sit there browsing the web and type some characters quickly from time to time.

when the manager saw it, he said angrily, why don't you work? You are surfing the Internet.

C answer: I'm looking up what functions PHP needs to implement this function.

As soon as possible is a joke, but in the development process, php developers really often have to go online to search which function is used for a certain function. If they don't go online to search, I guess it will be much more difficult to develop, except for experienced developers.

Third: php is no longer' the best language in the world'

In the field of web development, php can be said to have no rival, and most of the web development is in php language. However, with the evolution of the current architecture and the emergence of new programming languages, the status of php has been seriously impacted.

php is good at web development, but it is not good in other fields, such as big data, artificial intelligence and so on.

php's performance is not very good, and it doesn't support asynchronism very well. Although excellent extensions such as swoole appeared later, many people chose other programming languages instead, such as golang

Laotie. It's true that there are fewer PHP posts, and there are few large and medium-sized Internet companies that use PHP in Beijing, unless they are already in management or coding in Ali P8-9 or above.

Let's talk about a simple data. This is the number of headhunting positions I got after I entered PHP on a website. The location is Beijing, which is just four companies. In fact, the number of headhunting positions reflects the overall approximate number to some extent.

then let's look at JAVA, with 2 posts per page and 5 pages, which means about 1 headhunting posts.

some companies have turned to GO, and the screenshot is inconvenient. There are about 2 headhunting positions.

Of course, it doesn't mean that people in PHP can't do it. In fact, some unique projects are developed by PHP, and the companies behind them want to find people in this field, but they haven't done it yet, because the technical languages are different, but on the whole, it is true that it is difficult for PHP to find a job.

php is really hard to find a job at present. After the rise of the separation mode between front and back, it can be said that the back end is basically monopolized by java. Then let's talk about java. This language has been around for a long time, so you can easily find a java engineer with more than 1 years' experience. At present, there are also the most java practitioners. In other words, java is so good, why do I need php? However, it can't be said that php is useless. After all, it is the first choice for small companies to start businesses. Phper with rich experience can still find a job.

Under the epidemic situation, it is difficult to find a job and eat again.

More than 1 years ago, the back end of Taobao was php, but it was gradually replaced by Java. So far, the application of php has disappeared, which is enough to prove the decline of php.

Like our company JD.COM, at least the back end of the project I am currently in contact with is all Java, and I haven't seen any php applications and documents.

There are still some jobs in php. At least I delivered Baidu last year when I was recruited by the school, and there was a PHP development post in it, but the number of recruits was particularly small, which should be used for old projects before maintenance. Nowadays, few people will consider php in the back end of new projects, and more are Java, Go, Python, C++ and so on.

"php is the best language in the world" is often praised by programmers. I think it is more a mockery of the decline of PHP, but it is not more serious. It is the right choice to follow the trend of technological development and learn new knowledge.

I'm glad to receive the invitation. Let me talk about my personal opinion. Mainly divided into two points.

first, the use of PHP language in China

domestic manufacturers generally use Java to develop more, and PHP is a bit small. Large factories have strong survival and pressure resistance, so there will be fewer layoffs. Small companies are weak under pressure and have to lay off employees in the face of reduced income.

II. Special circumstances brought about by this year's epidemic

The survival pressure of enterprises is great, and due to the epidemic, the profits are reduced, the requirements for development are reduced, and many companies are facing the problem of layoffs.

third, PHP will not be replaced

PHP is the best language in the world, and it is very fast when doing web development. The advantages of PHP are also obvious, and there is no problem of being replaced

As long as you work hard, the pestle grinds into a needle.

Don't believe too much the rumors on the Internet, such as the cold winter of the Internet, the poor treatment of php and the saturation of work.

as long as you are skilled, you don't have to look for a job, and the job will come to you naturally. But you should have a solid foundation and the ability to develop.

what is development ability? It is the ability to constantly improve oneself, and the ability to constantly learn and make progress.

I've met many experts, who never only know one language, such as python,java,php,nodejs,go. For them, they can handle it as long as their work needs it.

So my suggestion is that if you are interested in technology, just do it. There is never a shortage of jobs. He just waits for a suitable person, and once you set out, your success will be at your feet.

After five or six years of php, you changed to go, mixed with python, and now you have written java for less than a year [covering your face ]

I am not PHP, but the company is facing bankruptcy during the Java epidemic. After layoffs, it is really hard to find a job this year, especially for developers in their thirties. It doesn't matter if they just graduated for a year or two. They all found it within a week, and the others haven't been accepted by relevant applicants for almost a month. I feel that I can consider changing my career. This line does not have much advantage, because there is no such superb education and technology as others, and there is no advantage for the company to choose you.

I'm confused now, but I can't do anything else. It's not easy to find a job in this line now. Still floating outside. I don't know when it will be the end. When it comes to technology, it's really not bad, and the developed project is unambiguous, but I haven't had an interview for a long time, and it's much harder to prepare than before, and the questions asked in the interview are getting harder and harder. Come on,

there are really few bosses and carefree futures.
