- rossriley 10y agoThe problem with the PHP market at the moment is that there's a split between semi-skilled Wordpress / Joomla / Drupal development and more highly skilled development work that would fall under the same rate as Python / Rails / Node contract work. If you are a skilled polyglot developer and want to seek out PHP contracts at the senior end of the market you will be able to earn the same day rate as with other languages, but there are also a lot of agencies that are hiring not highly skilled developers to pump out cookie-cutter sites and so many of the PHP jobs will be for this sort of work and thus pay a lower day rate.
