I have a job right now but I am overworked and underpaid. I really don’t like my employer because they don’t respect me. This is my first actual job outside of freelance stuff and i’ve been here for 4 years, its time to move on.

But job searching terrifies me. What is the market like right now? Is the job market so bad right now that it is worth staying with a company that i’m unhappy with?

I am a php developer with 7 years experience who mostly does backend but can do front end as well. I am also dipping my toes into a lot of devops lately.
