This 100%. I have 6+ years experience now and am going for senior dev roles. 4 of those years are PHP and I feel company's and recruiters pidgin hole me as a "senior php dev". I feel like I have to continue down the php stack + web dev path or take a pay cut even though I have non professional experience in mobile for example. I understand where they are coming from but a little less narrow mindedness would be nice. -gets ready for the 'no one other than a php shop wants to hire a dev with most their experience in php' jokes-
