I’m currently a sr. art director, 16yoe. 114k base, usually around 15%+ bonus. My job is fine, low key, no stress, good pay for the type of work I do.
Been thinking for a long time about switching to front-end dev work, as I’m just tired of the visual design grind and comp. I know enough html/css/js to build a website, even interface with a simple API. I still need to learn more vanilla JS, and frameworks/libraries like react/angular, and some other more advanced front end skills.
If I do make a switch, would it be feasible to expect the same comp as I make now starting out as a FE dev? If I take a huge cut in pay, I think it would be too hard to jump ship.

Your alternative is to learn PHP but that’s much harder to learn than Python and lots of companies use JS rather than PHP these days anyway.
