Switching from PHP Developer to Java Developer – Need Advice

[u/Evening_Glass3247]

Hi everyone,

I have around 4 years of experience as a PHP developer, mainly working with Laravel. Recently, I started learning Java and Spring Boot, and I'm becoming really interested in this technology.

I want to switch my career to Java development and would love to hear from people who have made a similar transition.

How was your experience? What kind of job opportunities did you get, and how difficult was it to land your first Java developer role?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
