305468, I started out as frontend and the majority of my development experience in frontend...

but my next role I am looking to get more of a frontend/ backend hybrid role using node.js. I like and am very comfortable with javascript, so if you learn javascript you can definitely find something that pays very well.

I definitely think you should play with different languages and see what suits you more. I do believe backend developer roles tend to pay better than frontend, unless you are using React or Angular or something like that which can come with a very nice salary.

As obsidianchrysalis said, you should definitely check out Coursera or Codecademy or Udemy and do some of their tutorials and see which languages you feel comfortable with and the workflow you would be comfortable being in. Build some apps on your own and see all that goes into building and deploying to the server.

It's pretty hard to be a beginner and just find a language and be good with that, because the field changes so much and new technologies keep coming online (some people hate that). It's a constant learning process, so whichever route you choose more than likely you will start morphing into something else eventually.
