It really doesn't matter, developers are poorly paid in this part of the world. So except you're going away from here, I think the correct answer will be just for academic purposes.

Your location is irrelevant if you're experienced and good.

I am a Frontend Developer and with what I have seen so far. They pay backend a bit better. Money should not be your primary focus though. Some Companies don't even know what they want, they will advertise for a Frontend Job, once you get there they will start asking you backend questions too. Why not just state that you need a Fullstack.

Well, it depends on the stack you use,. I have seen a frontend developer salary of more than 400k. But the the frameworks is just too much and you you need at least 4+ years experience. So for frontend, you need HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Ajax, Vie and some other js framework.
But on a normal ground with all things been equal, a php, ruby or python developer Worth's more than an average frontend developer.
Why you ask? Because almost everyone can make a web design these days. Also there are some WYSIWYG that you can just drag and drop widgets to get a basic professional web design.
So the way to go is full stack if possible.
But then, it depends on the number of frameworks you are proficient in and your portfolio speaks a lot for you.
My verdict: back end developer any day anytime, java is a good one with high pay especially if you know spring boot and MVC software design architecture.
Php is also good. Python is hot! Especially using django or flask frameworks.
But the thing is to be a master in the language you are currently on. The likely hood of being hired will increase.

By the way am a junior django/python developer.

For most clients, the UI and the design rank highest for them. I know someone collected #250,000 for a job who used basically a customizable freemium theme and a premium page builder with several add-ons to complete the job. The client was super-excited with the finished job 'cause the UI and design was top-notch.

Hello, it all depends on where you are working, your level of experience and what you are doing.
But as seen on mysalaryscale website, front end developers earn more than back end developers.

Do you ever see, hear or say anything good or positive in your life? I know several developers who earn between one mullion and two million naira per month, I also know several who earn peanuts. Stop poisoning people's mind, if you want to leave Nigeria, leave but don't carry hard drugs.

If you are good at what you do.. u will always find work.....
I usually don't consider web development but for this question...... Neither is higher... Depending on ur skills and level... A senior frontend developer will always earn more than a junior backend developer and vice versa... But companies tend to pay more for backend developers because of the work done.... Any photographer or good graphic designer can easily work out frontend development.. but backend is where the real task is...

Backend tends to be more like programming even though it's just logical and less mathematical almost like real programming... Anyway like some people said full stack is the highest paid... I'm yet to see a senior backend developer that doesn't know frontend well.. even though he may not do much of it.

Front-end is about the layout you see in a webpage

Back-end is the hidden part a user can't see but perform the major job

Eg

Atm Machine

Front-end... inserting ur card and selecting ur cash amount

back-end... is how the atm recognized ur card and accept ur pin....

Why are you getting violent? We are all entitled to our opinions, why are you having seizures over my comment? I think you should believe what you want and let others do same, it won't hurt. Besides, have you taken your meds today? grin
