I'm a cofounder at http://hackreactor.com http://hackreactor.com, an immersive school for Javascript engineers. Our grads have your skillset plus a portfolio, and they all get jobs. A few notes: * The portfolio is key. Here's one from a grad; you can get away with just 2-3 projects: http://tylermcginnis.com/ http://tylermcginnis.com/ * I would suggest learning Angular rather than PHP -- learning PHP will put you in a socio-cultural programming context that will lower your career salary and quality of coworker. * You'll find life way easier if you look for a job in SF. * Study up on "Cracking the Coding Interview" and make sure that you can code up interview questions. You may want to just attend my school, which is a structured three-month program to take people like you through the above and more. Average graduate salary is $105,000.
