I recently started working as a junior and at work I write simple things in PHP and JS and websites in WordPress.
I started learning a little PHP MVC, namely the CodeIgniter framework. The question arose about further development as a programmer. There is additional time and opportunity to study, the company pays for a codeschool.com subscription there, etc.
The problem is that we do not use ruby in the company, and many advised me to learn it for the backend and take AngularJS or NodeJS + ExpressJS for the frontend.
I got a little confused in further development in my career.
How fast can you learn ruby so you can reclassify and look for a full-time job as a ruby developer? And is it worth it?

At least learn PHP, what you tried there, tried it - does not play a role, and "retraining" is too strong a word, since you do not have qualifications as such in PHP. If you know how to build the architecture correctly, you will enter another, related language, no problem.

The main thing is to build the right application architecture. And you can nagovnokodit in any language.
It is necessary to learn at least because of the fact that to adopt some techniques and expand your horizons.
As for PHP-cal... Zhiguli also have feces, but they are driven. And the 7th version of puff promises to be interesting.

Worth it. How fast? From half a year from scratch, from PHP 1-3 months, depending on the current skill level.

PHP is probably already a bit of a thing of the past and something new needs to be learned.

It is better to read a book on the PHP framework Yii2 and in a month you will be able to write pretty well in Yii2.
CodeIgniter is pointless to learn. it is almost never used.
