Not at all.

I've never done it and I don't feel like my career has suffered because of it. Unless you need to do a lot of networking in order to get in hand offer I don't really think it's necessary.

Yeah. I do. For some reason, recruiters take it seriously.

Hi,
I have close to 6 YEO in php (symfony) and recently with reactjs and fluent ui. I also have basic knowledge of azure.
Php doesn’t seem to fetch much money and reactjs I have started very recently. I want to switch for better package and product based company.
I am ready to learn any language but what should I select? Java? Scala? Python? etc
How do I get out of this trap of php.

Should I just learn a language and add directly in cv or learn react and move fullstack?
