2025 Salary Data: The Death of the 'Generic' Frontend Dev
Salaries for "Frontend Developers" are flat. Salaries for "Full Stack (Next.js + Node)" are up 12%. The distinction is worth $24,000 a year.
The Divergence
We analyzed 3,200 salary data points. Generic frontend roles (HTML/CSS/React) have stagnated at a median of $108,000. The market views this as a commodity skill now.
However, roles requiring "Next.js" AND "Node.js" have spiked to a median of $132,000.
CAREER STRATEGY
Stop calling yourself a "Frontend Developer."
Our data shows that changing your title to "Full Stack Engineer" and adding basic Node/API orchestration skills increases interview callbacks by 40%.
Regional Data
In Europe, the gap is wider. Generic frontend is stuck at €75k, while Full Stack hits €95k. The message from the market is clear: Silos are dead. You must own the stack.
