Does a Front End Developer require knowledge of Backend?

Hi,

I'm Front End Dev, working for banking clients with 5 years of experience. Our development stack is Angular 2 +, Spring Boot and Oracle DB / MySql DB.

Most of the development projects don't require use case NgRx or Redux Pattern but rather, know how of Spring Boot.

The dilemma I'm facing is:

  • To learn NgRx on weekends i.e to stick to Front End Development for future job change/switch, OR
  • To start learning Spring Boot enough for RESTful service expertise i.e move towards Semi Back End development.

Thanks for reading !!!
