It depends on your goals. If it is primarily a Phoenix gig, things aren't that different from any other MVC type framework. Especially if it's a rest or graphql endpoint for a JS framework. If it's a Liveview app or something with heavy OTP going on it's going to take the average dev a bit longer to grok what's going on. I've met JR devs who are coding Elixir in their first professional developer job at this point. There are quite a few open positions for Elixir currently. Are there enough open positions that that you can find one that suits your experience, salary, position, location, benefits, product, team dynamic, time zone, etc..... Thats where I feel everyone involved both hiring managers and developers need to give and take a little. I say learning Elixir will absolutely stretch your programming mind and introduce you to other ways of solving problems. Give it go! I actually took a job to bring Elixir to an organization. My most recent hire joined primarily because of getting to work with Elixir without previous experience. Have some conversations you might get lucky right out of the gate.
