its good but avoid the transition to back-end at all costs.
most """back-end"" these days is legacy garbage trying to interface one elegant system with another elegant system, in the most inelegant means possible. its a shitshow from my experience.

you forgot to add that it's still better than front-end

Fine if you know HTML/CSS and build mostly static sites for small/medium companies.
If you are building more "interactive" Web2.0 sites, then it is a javascript shit show. For example, I had to look into PWA technology lately and... it has zero technological methods to it, it only gives you a javascript cache to write into. Everything else, you have to manage by hand, in javascript, making all links on the website be an ajax call in a service worker that write to cache, and handle cache reading in case there is no network connection. You are at the point that you have to implement CLICKING A LINK in javascript.

100% this but I still enjoy it a lot more than front end but that might genuinely be because I have a masochism fetish idk.
You ever tried to write an interface between hubspot (dumb marketing platform that sucks up a user's data through scary cookies) and visual foxpro (the latest and final version was released in 2007). I actually came up with a fairly elegant set of interfaces and I don't think I'd have been able to do it if I hadn't been wearing my programming socks.
