It greatly depends on an aspect you did not specify - employee or free
lance?

Employee, definitely. I don't have the iron nerves it takes to be  
independent.

I can tell you about PHP that I'm sure it's extremely difficult to  
find
work as a PHP programmer employee, but not at all difficult to do  
so as
a free lance.

I have a feeling that this is a self-feeding problem. I mean, our  
company has advertised in the past for PHP programmers, and we had  
very little luck finding any, even as far as sending us a CV. Because  
there are no workers, there are no places that work in PHP, and  
because there are no places, there are no workers.

Anyway, I don't want to work in PHP anymore, that's why I'm looking  
for this change.

The best you can get, in that respect, is work for a (small?)  
consulting
company. The nerves are someone else's, and you have (at least the
illusion) of stability (none of Lingnu's employees are reading this
thread, right?), while maintaining the flexibility of consulting work.

:-)

I'll keep that in mind, though I have a feeling one can only get into  
one of those through connections, not through advertising.
