I have been in Software Development since 5.3 years. I worked a lot on PHP, its frameworks(laravel, zend, cakephp, codeignitor), javascript, jQuery, angular 5, mysql, postgres, redis etc.



But recently I saw everyone moving to nodejs, react, python etc. That makes me tense about my future, because I can justify my pay when I work in PHP. But when most of the jobs require me to know node, what should I do because I dont work on node in current company and thus cant show experience like other candidates who would take the job making me lag behind.



What can be done to overcome it as in future the gap to get into new job will become narrower by showing experience in PHP, as most of the companies use node, python. I dont want to be unemployed in future(or stay in same or current company forever) as I dont have experience in python, nodejs as company I worked with works in PHP. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you for reading!
