Nothing as cool as embedded development, database development or anything like that. Just general backend positions, working on the guts of something that may have a web layer, mobile layer, etc. Web jobs are plentiful and paid fairly well early in my career, but pay on the upper end has a pretty hard cap, so it's been a worthwhile move as there's more opportunity for career growth. It also better lends itself to specialization (ML, natural language processing, etc.) so that is another opportunity.
