Define front end. If you mean designing pixel perfect HTML pages, that market is shrinking quite rapidly. Expect a long time on the bench.
If you mean Backbone/Angular/framework of the day, that one is booming. Uploading your CV to one of the popular job boards will get you over 10 calls a day.
- davidshariff 13y agoRight, by front end I was referring to HTML5, CSS3, Modern JS Apps etc, not the pixel pushing kind of work.
- hcho 13y agoThe demand for that type of work is coming from 4 main industries: 1) Household internet giants; i.e Google, Amazon etc 2) Betting/online gaming industry 3) Old Street startups 4) Content delivery; either on device side (set top boxes, consoles etc) or on market side(game, movie, app downloads) Attending related meetups and handing over a few business cards might do wonders.
- CWIZO 13y agoAlso from financial sector I think. disclaimer: I work for Caplin who develops HTML5 financial apps.
- hcho 13y agoI had the impression that financial sector was taking a while to catch up with the times. Is the work interesting?
- CWIZO 13y agoA lot of banks are switching to web based trading platforms. The work is very interesting a you are building a huge single page app (not really comparable to most of the "standard" SPAs you encounter in terms of size and complexity) where everything is real-time.
