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.
No sir, you are wrong sir

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....
Oooh thanks sir really appreciate

look at what someone is asking

No offence but, if you are going into programing for the money, please dont waste your time as you wont see any thing till about 2 years +

Well unless you join those people advertising website for 10k on nairaland

as for your question... learn your stack well and you will get to the top were there is no difference in the salary scale
Is there anything wrong with "those people advertising website for 10k on nairaland"?

Everybody must start somewhere you know.

It depends on how good you are and the pay structure of the organization you work for...I am also new in the game....and am enjoying front end development , I am yet to get to know what's happening at the back end #good things take time and don't let money be your motivation..those were the words of my boss to me when I first started....

I think it is worth adding a little specificity to this discussion, namely, I will add a good article which describes just such a question Back End & Front End Salary https://devoxsoftware.com/blog/back-end-front-end-developer-salary-trends-in-2023-market-research/ I think that from it you will understand a lot and it will be very useful!
