Title: I&#x27;ve been working in startups for the last few years, using a lot of the latest tech that startups often use (Rails, Node, Mongo, Angular etc.).<p>Now I&#x27;m back in my home town (failed and can&#x27;t afford to be out in London doing this any more), and seeking any job for a developer. But all I see is PHP, .NET, VB, Java and everything that HN seems to hate.<p>I actually haven&#x27;t touched this stuff since school, and everything I&#x27;ve learned and used over these last few years seems to be useless in the corporate world here.<p>I&#x27;m renting alone and therefore need a job quickly. My options are finding a quick job (e.g. waiter, shop assistant) while brushing up on PHP (or maybe something else has better career opportunities?) in the evenings, or just doing something completely different.<p>Truth is I want a stable career now and care little about whether we&#x27;re coding in Erlang or Java.
