Web dev is a fairly broad term. If you only know Angular/CSS/Typescript, you're kinda out of luck unless you start brushing up on your Node chops. If you're writing web APIs, it's a much smaller jump. Embedded systems are a whole different ballgame though.

I'm full stack, react/redux/typescript front end, and restful api in go/python for the back end. So I presume the jump is not that high in theory, but there are always better fitting candidates.

I'm not saying you are wrong though. Just trying to tell the other new grads that switching might not be straightforward and might require some effort on their part.
