Having done backend and now moving to frontend, I would not say either one of them is harder than the other. They're completely different. Having said that, my backend experience can help with taking relevant context into account when solving frontend problems. Things like security, API design and usage, etc, are always on my mind. Likewise, your current frontend experience might give you greater context when working on backend services.
As someone else mentioned, data management and API backwards compatibility is a bigger thing in backend that a frontend dev might find challenging to move to. It's just a different set of problems, but very interesting in its own right.
An example of something that might be easier is not having to worry about browser and device compatibility like you do with frontend (right now a point of frustration for me!)
Both can be very fun and quick to iterate on (microservices written in Go were extremely fun to write and maintain for me!)
Right now I have no preference for either one: both have been providing very fun challenges and learning experiences. I would not move to backend just because you think it's easier, unless your brain is just better wired to handle the types of hard backend problems you would encounter rather than the types of hard frontend problems you encounter now.
