The demand is higher for FE Engineers precisely because it's easier. You have a low entry bar and more mediocre/inexperienced devs get in, create a mess and move on to better opportunities because now they have the 1 or 2 years extra of engineering xp and have also padded their resumes a bit.. also they need to higher more devs because tickets churn out rate is not the best either..
if you agree no need to up vote.. but if you disagree then do up vote as I told you something you needed to hear..
