> I'm currently working 40h/week as a backend PHP developer and I think I can put an extra 20 hours every week to increase my earnings. However, I struggle to find remote work or above the average freelancing projects.

Freelance is all about branding, word of mouth and selling your self. Maybe give blogging a shot and keep looking.

Shameless Plug: I was a PHP/Node developer. now I am trying to switching to go or elixir/erlang. I am already super comfortable with go. due to the fact, I have been using it since 2013 on hobby projects. As of now, I am working On a rest API using Clojure and react for frontend.

What made you want to switch languages?

Looking for better alternatives on the backend. I really like PHP. I have used it heavily so there is not much I am gonna learn from PHP. Elixir seems like good choices for a few reasons. easy access to the OTP and a good ecosystem (when compared to Clojure).
