If you want to earn decently - you can't go wrong with wither C#/.NET or Java. Lots of enterprise level jobs out there for those platforms.

If you want to enjoy your life (as I do), but maybe not make as much - I can't recommend Javascript / NodeJS / Vue (or React) more.

C# and .NET are quite enjoyable to use IMO, certainly more so than JS

Are you suggesting Frontend is more enjoyable in general? I think it depends from person to person. As a Backend Dev/SRE, I'm currently learning React and have to admit that it's a very refreshing and rewarding experience, but I'm not sure if I would like that setup in a real job - that would probably mean more "fighting" with UX designers, stakeholders etc. compared to backend job.
