I do not deny certainly that 90% of the job offers are C#, Java and PHP. Recruiters are always trying to get me to look at various offers, and I agree; however, they're pretty much all large, established companies that are desperate to hire people because the word on the street is that their projects have spun out of control, are behind schedule, etc. At least, that's the running M.O. in this city.
I also agree that NodeJS is jumping the shark. But, again, if your at where he/she is, there is where the more up-to-date Microsoft companies are hiring. NodeJS is the new hotness (five years late) in this town.
Personally, I'm already working on exiting Node. Having used it hard core for high-performance APIs, I've found all the sharp edges and failure modes. Node really falls down when you have to get fine-grain control of flow control, such as processing files and large data. Ironically, I'm seeing a resurgence of Ruby.
I've been working on tooling myself back in to Ruby (did Ruby for five years), Elixir, and Docker/Flynn/etc.
