In my experience front-end is an extremely weird field: "classical techies" consider it stupid, management is addicted to it and the field is very fast paced. Also I find it quite unthankful.
The companies could do a lot to make it more attractive to developers. Having worked for 3-4 years a lot of front-end stuff, one job was indeed only 3 months and cut-throat toxic, I don't want to do it ever again. Even though I'm really good at it.
And my opinion gets confirmed continuously, at our company for instance most pressure is on the front-enders. Why? Because that's the only thing management understands or at least they think they do. On the other hand once you touched front-end it's very tough to get more technical tasks.
