As someone who has learned web development, including WordPress, for the past 5 years (on and off) – I am curious what the job market is like specifically for WordPress developers, and which types of jobs offer the best opportunities to get some solid work experience? Off the top of my head (and based on job searching on Indeed and LinkedIn), I think this is what’s available now. Are there any that I am overlooking or missing?
​
|type|Rating the likelihood of finding a job (for early stage developers), 1-10 scale|
|:-|:-|
|digital marketing/web agency|3?|
|Fiverr / Upwork / Freelancer|2?|
|small (or mid-size) business, In house|3?|
|software/IT consulting company|2?|
|going completely Solo and finding your own clients|1?|
What kind of work should early-stage WP developers be pursuing (that would offer the best chances of a stable job/income)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It would be great if [WordPress.org](https://WordPress.org) had an entire section in their [learn.wordpress.org](https://learn.wordpress.org) devoted to career advice, professional development, etc. because I’m sure many people have tried to learn WP and then quit after realizing how hard it is to find a job.
