The current state of the PHP developer job market

So due to the fact that a few people have recently handed in the resignation at our company and plus I can’t remember whether we’re still in a receission or just leaving it or something but you’d think that since one in ten are out of work there wouldn’t be much out there. I decided to look to see what jobs there are for what I was originally trained for which is PHP/MySQL Developer.

It turns out that there is a fair bit out there. There’s not so much in the Junior field – noone seems to want to get the graduates but would prefer to pay more for the experienced candidates. And the wages aren’t that low either – I’ve seen lots at pretty high salary and quite a few in this area for equal or more money than I’m on (and mine is much higher than average).

Worth keeping an eye on.
