Seems like a safe bet to become a frontend developer. They've been the biggest developer group in most retail projects I've been working on, because a beautiful and functional UI is critical for a successful product, right?

Well... on the other side there are literally millions of your fellow countrymen who are (currently) better frontend developers than you. Even if you're more talented and learn harder than most of them, you might be disappointed in a few years with your career perspectives. And I think being an average frontend developer is very risky in India. If things don't go well in a project and the first wave of layoffs is coming - who do you think they're letting go? 4 of the 6 frontend developers or 1 of the 1 backend developer?
