Career Advice please for springboot eng with 1yoe My path should be?
Backend devs should leave frontend jobs for frontend devs. Likewise, frontend devs should leave backend jobs for backend devs. Full stack devs should rethink about their career and probably move to management or something.
Can you explain bit in detail why and how to it .
backend is complex. It is not just routes, middleware, controller and models. There is a lot in the backend. There are access controls, policies, different features to implement, cache, database optimization, and in many cases we also need to take care of fault tolerance, load balancing, websockets, gRPC, payment gateways, oauth, SSO, 2fa, some other third party APIs etc. Tell a frontend dev about doing all these. Even if he reads manuals and is able to do it taking some extra time, he will still struggle in business logic. For example, maybe you are making a food delivery app and need to find the shortest path between the delivery guy and the customer. Without knowing about graph, dijkstra algorithm and DSA, you won't be able to implement the feature.
As for frontend, A backend dev can do all of what a frontend dev does but he will get bored easily.
