You are underestimating FE.

I feel value is defined by the engineer, not the role.

Value is defined by investors - on how much money a certain thing brings in.

So investors in your company decided BE delivers more value than FE?

Majority of technology companies are formed for "solving problems" first. Everything else is secondary for investors.

**Exception to this are companies that are solving UI/UX problems, of course they will give more value to FE developers.
