I live in London and that's not quite true. There is a lot of demand for front end guys, especially with AngularJS (Backbone shows up quite a lot as well, EmberJS only rarely), NodeJS and single page web app experience. And salaries for these positions are actually on par with backend roles at the moment.
Of course there are some poorly paid front end jobs but if you have been keeping up with latest frameworks and tools in the JS world, you will fall into the lucrative group of front end jobs.
When you are contracting, they can actually be higher. I see lots of lucrative Angular and Node contracts around (£500-600/pd).
- afrontender 12y agoYeah, I got a job proposal via Linkedin last week for a Front-end (JS/Node/Angular) position in London and in the description was mentioned £500 per day, which is almost my monthly salary!!! The problem is that I'm not planning to go abroad for the time being.
- richardknop 12y agoWell, I'm afraid in eastern Europe it's quite hard to get a good salary as a front end guy. I would suggest relocating although I understand it's not an option for everybody. Since you are in EU, you don't need VISA to go to UK, for example.
- richardknop 12y agoBtw, where exactly in Eastern Europe are you from? I'm from Eastern EU as well :)
