Thanks Andrew , for the suggestion.

I will surely look for SQL resources on internet and get this stack included into my skills.

Should I go for Postgresql for projects selection or PHP and Laravel combo would be good for finding more opportunities. I have seen both these stacks to be highly demanded so a bit confused 🤔. And both does fall into nearest stacks I could easily master in small time.

What would be your preference here?

Personally I would go with PostgreSQL and Node/Python/C#. SQL and PHP go well together though and Laravel is the #1 PHP framework. You already have a JavaScript technical stack though so learning PHP will take more time. However I believe that it's wise for developers to have more than one tech stack.

So if you want to add PHP and Laravel then do it and you can use PostgreSQL across all of those tech stacks.

Thanks Andrew, for the suggestion 👍. I would surely work upon my PHP skills and would have PostgreSQL as my backbone for introducing RDBMS on no sql databases like MongoDB.
