Depends on the industry/area. In SFBay a talented javascripter can command as much as a talented Rubyist if you are willing to work at a startup. Bonus points if you also have a graphic design or UX chops.

The move from AS to JS is also not going to be as big a jump. Further, if you are taking a pay cut to shift stacks then I would suggest that you are getting in on new stacks too late.
