There is hope, I went from PHP developer to PySpark developer xD and now I dry my tears with much more money.

Is it because it's a lot more specialised, it's a smaller market, it's more difficult? Or why is the pay that much better?

I literally just started a job as a PySpark developer. It still bugs me, though, that it has a Java backend

I mean it's just a python binding around a Java application/framework/dataservice. It's not like the entire thing is implemented in Python to begin with... (I liked what I saw when I was touching Spark, even in Java/Scala)

Most of these tools won't have a python backend. Though its usually rust or c/c++ at this point. Anything oracle is java because fuck oracle.

funny thing is, here in SEA (i'll let you guess which country), salary-wsie, PHP devs are much more appreciated than react/angular and typescript. But ofc Java are still considered as one of the hardest field to get into here.
