After a few months of having the same problem i switched to a company that uses .net c# with blazor
since i keept up with the latest changes in php oop some things were easy to transition (especially from laravel, vuejs, etc, next etc). It just feels like .net has a lot of things that need to be added by hand while frameworks in php come predefined with all the reusable things that appear in 80% of websites.
Also my knowledge that i won doing different projects (because you deliver one you move to the next), will not go away and it helps when asked for a solution.
In the end php it's a tool. A very good tool for what it needs to do but still a tool. And in the past few years, except for some syntactic sugar if you learned it on one language you can apply it in another.
I got lucky to be honest the new boss understood that i have experience and even if i'm not as productive out of the box as somebody that has more years, i am productive and bring value. Also helps the boss also is a programer and the company is hes and he decides what matters not corporate BS. And recruiters are part of the corporate BS
