I qualify as a senior FE engineer but the last time I was looking finding open positions for that exact title was difficult. I don't really mind full stack (I guess it would depend on the backend) so I normally take those jobs as I'm more flexible to the company that hires me. Also I prefer smaller companies <100 overall and <10 developer so finding overlap with a small company that also wants someone only focused on the frontend is hard. But, like I said, I don't mind full stack so it's worked out well for me and I get a good amount of frontend work (a lot of it greenfield). Also if you aren't posting a salary you might be losing people who gloss over the posting since FE isn't always respected/paid well. I think that factors into my gravitating to full stack work, I absolutely love FE work but finding a company that will let me do that and pays well AND is small has been... challenging. It's hard to give more advice without seeing something like a job posting. I will say, don't limit yourself by framework (but DO say what you use, if it's not greenfield). I prefer Vue but I've built sites/apps in Angular and I have no doubt I could pick up React if I needed to. A "real" senior FE developer isn't going to balk at any of the big 3 frameworks (or minor ones but be ready to explain why you picked something other than Angular/React/Vue). |
