Yes of course. Define web dev tho. It's a broad field. There are plenty of gigs out there if you focus on JavaScript and it's frameworks, python, go, Ruby or node.

Python, go, c# and Java can open 'enterprise' doors for you.

Curious about Go in enterprise web development, have any widely established companies gone full in on Go? Like migrated from Java or other stacks. I'm mostly a C# / Python web developer at my current job, and I'm diving into Go. Might even start suggesting it for future projects to see if it gets approved once I feel reasonably proficient in Go that is.
Recently a headhunter told me a couple of large companies have switched departments entirely to Go, in my area, but only hire people who "are really into Go", meaning lots of experience and knowledge. The companies, iirc, were Monsanto (now Bayer) and Mastercard.
Go still seems pretty niche here. Even the companies you mention are still mostly using Java, but I do know of teams using Go on certain projects at those places.
