Well, I’ve just found one reason you may not be seeing Elixir jobs on Linkedin at least…

To get back to the thread-title question:
It’s a bit late for it to change my employment possibilities all that much, as I’m semi-retired. 
However, it can still influence that “semi” part. I’d be much more likely to actually consider taking on a hands-on project (versus the advice-giving I’m now emphasizing), if it were in Elixir rather than in Ruby – despite Ruby being my current favorite and strongest language.

A slightly different take here…
With Elixir you have a better opportunity than almost any other language to create your own software business. Code is terse, and the types of batteries that are included in the run-time make deployment and managing infrastructure so much easier. For most line of business apps you can get away with Postgres (or Your favourite RDBMS) and the run-time deployed by simply copying a self-contained directory into place and starting the app (obviously you would want to do some hardening too). You can write pretty nifty UIs without JavaScript and the associated webpack fights and never ending update loop.
This lets you go a long way by yourself. If you decide to raise capital and build a team, this also lets you negotiate on more favourable terms than if you have to go big early.
