Is it possible to live on earnings only from the frontend?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon, I know that everything is known only in one's own skin, but once again I ask the opinions of wiser comrades.
I am writing back-end in java/groovy + front-end for a small company that lives mainly by freelance orders. I have a year and a half experience, I develop mostly alone, sometimes there is a code review, but rarely, so there is not much, I can’t learn much at work, since this is freelance, there is no time for learning, only along the way. There is an opportunity to move to a well-known company, but only deal with front-end, and without a "mentor". Knowledge of js is average, a little angular, and jquery with onclick. I have two years of experience, I don’t grab stars from the sky, but I read Fowler and so on. I see options:
- stay and continue groovy / js / css - the prospects are incomprehensible, freelancing, after all,
- java - go to an enterprise to learn from a guru,
- python / django - the same freelance, only more work,
- go to a well-known front-end company and come what may :)
Question: is it possible in our realities to abandon the back-end and still live ? With the backend, life seems brighter, but the offer is only for the frontend. The opinion of experienced developers is welcome.

Answer 1

depending on what you mean by frontend. If layout + jquery, then yes, everything is sad here. But this is something at the level of a junior front-end worker. angular is simple. the fun begins when you start doing something for mobile platforms and stumble upon completely unexpected browser bugs.
In a word ... look at the vacancies, how many are offered, etc. Make sure that front-end workers live just as well and sometimes even better than their server counterparts.

Answer 2

Since 2008 I have been doing only front-end, I have more than enough for bread and butter and caviar.

Answer 3

My friend lives on the frontend richer than me, travels a lot.
I think you can live on a few thousand bucks from the frontend and there can be no other answer.
