The salaries of front-end developers have exceeded those of back-end developers. Is it so?

Analyzing vacancies on different sites, I came to the conclusion that recently the salaries of front-end developers have exceeded the salaries of back-end developers, and significantly (overweight of 20-40%). And in the current crisis, the salary of the backend even sank a little. Is it so? Share your opinion.

If we take a typical project of any composition, then whatever is on the backend, it is done almost instantly from all sorts of CMS with a ton of plugins, to fast prototyping on the rail. Why pay a backend worker? For the fact that he read the dock on the rail or Drupal and raised a whole reliable project in 2 days? I think there are already so many of these backend developers, not to mention the unrealistic number of tested tools. What's in the frontend? And there is nothing there. There is jQuery, but you see it slows down, and of course not angular. There are no normal tools, but there are tons of polyfills, thanks to which development turns into tailoring the code for each browser, it's hard and unproductive. Frontend testing is hell. A bunch of all sorts of meta languages ​​- TS, Coffee, Opal and a dozen more unpopular ones. Oh yeah, you can't just be a frontend you need to work with the backend on websockets and adjax, as well as with layout, know all sorts of Stylus, SCSS, SASS, and if you're not lucky, then also HAML / SLIM. Add here the inferiority of zhs as a language, it still has to develop and develop in order to become normal, but you still need to know the browser api, be able to handle all the nuances of events and so on. And zhs flows from memory the only way. And still it is necessary to be able in productivity for mobile phones. It is very difficult to master all this together, especially to be as productive as a back-end developer, each detail has a bunch of important nuances, you can’t just take it and become a front-end developer. If you really want, then in the current state, the salary of a front-end developer consists of 95% of the inferiority of his tools, and the same 95% of the time the front-end developer is engaged in a struggle with his own tools. know all sorts of Stylus, SCSS, SASS, and if you're not lucky, then also HAML / SLIM.

Not so, in the comparative chart for 2014, back-end developers earned a little , but more. Of course, there are vacancies where they are willing to pay both more than the average price and less. For this year, it will be possible to say for sure in 6 months)

Depends on how good you are at selling. Sometimes hair stands on end when you see a really paid bill and the result.

Hardware has become more powerful, channels are wider, browsers have begun to allow more - the bells and whistles and complexity of browser development has increased and continues to grow, as well as demand, in fact. Perhaps someday the trend will decline.

My salary as a back-end developer is 10 times higher than the salary of a beginner front-end developer.

The salary depends on the level and qualifications, experience, ability to solve complex problems in a reasonable time, reliability, reviews and reputation, and a dozen other factors, up to the possession of related technologies. Backend or frontend - it doesn't really matter.

It seems to me that everything depends more and more on skills and both + the task itself.
