To advance in your career as a front-end developer, you may choose to deepen your expertise in the front-end, expand into back-end or full-stack development, or take on more leadership and mentoring responsibilities.

Moving up the ladder in front-end development means improving your technical skill set so your work is consistent, intuitive, and responsive across devices. You’ll want to be a strong collaborator and systems thinker who can deliver swift, high-quality designs that align with strategic business outcomes.

As an advanced front-end developer, titles include “Lead Front-End Developer” and “Front-End Development Manager” if you pursue the management track. Others may advance from “Senior Front-End Developer” to “Staff” and then “Principal” as individual contributors.
