In my experience, a lot of shops with Java in their tech stack usually get devs from Infosys or other consulting companies. So you are competing with super cheap labor.

Yeah, I live in one of those countries that consulting companies outsource to. PHP is quite cheap too, about 1/3 to 1/2 a Node.js salary.
