I've a frontend-only friend at $big_tech_co who's on $200k TC post-tax with a half decade of experience. Lives in a major metro area in the US, not sure what their rates are abroad.

In general, the big cos hire maybe 1 JS dev for every 2 or 3 backend devs. But they're on the same payscale. From what I've heard, it's more challenging to climb the level ladder, but if you come in at a terminal level and aren't particularly interested in that stuff, it's pretty comfortable.
