Full stack and anything not-front end is where the work gets fun for me. The languages, technology, documentation, and overall experience is better -- if you are academic in your work the various non-prototypical languages are enlightening.
Front end work is like icing on a cake. Some like the sugar, but most people scrape it off and don't care. Full stack and architecture roles care about the cake ingredients, the oven, who is cooking. Front end is all about slathering everyone else's work with some bright sugar coating.

I like your analogy.
Personally I am a front-end fanboy; I think this is partly because of my design background.
