Jobs in this sector typically break down in three different roles: front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers. Pay is usually better for full-stack developers who deal with both the front-end, consumer-facing and back-end parts of the website. Many web developers are also able to work from home, which makes it an attractive career option for some.
Virtually all industries are hiring web developers, not just tech firms. Developers can work in-house at companies of all sizes, at agencies where they will work with multiple clients at a time, or as freelancers or business owners.
