Ask HN: Should Frontend(CSS) and Backend Devs Be Paid Equally? A Discussion
We're having an internal discussion about whether there should be a pay difference between top-tier frontend developers and backend developers, or if they should be compensated equally.
In the past, CSS was a skill many could handle. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly complex, with new features being added to browsers almost monthly.
Senior CSS experts argue that there isn't a significant difference in skill level between frontend and backend developers, suggesting that both should be paid the same.
What do you think? How does your agency handle this? Whether you own or work at an agency, we'd love to hear your perspective.
Currently, we pay them the same, but we're reconsidering as we gain more experience.
Looking forward to your insights!
