I'm a full stack developer. More experienced in backend. Worked for 2 yrs on react. But my concern is, i'm only interested in coding part, i don't really want to do css. I know enough css to design any kind of layout but i don't want to advance my skills in css, i just want to focus on JS. But i think most companies expect from a full stack/frontend js dev to work on css too.
Asking considering my future, should i just focus on backend only? Or i continue as full stack with more focus on JS.

Is my comp fair for a I/O Psych Master’s degree? I came in with about 1.5 YoE and started as a HC Consultant at 85k with 3k bonus.

After talking with a few new consultants who worked here as interns (2-3 years) and don’t have grad degrees they are making around $96k BEFORE the adjustment.

Shouldn’t my grad degree be worth more? Let me know if I’m over thinking it!
