Web Developers write and review the code for websites. They also ensure that the website is working correctly and that it can handle the traffic it receives. 

Any company that has a large or high-traffic website will have Web Developers on staff. This can be in any industry such as e-commerce, news, or gaming sites. 

Many Developers live in Silicon Valley and work for the tech companies that are based out of that area. However, if you plan on living somewhere else, there are always jobs for Developers that are remotely based or in smaller companies. 

The most significant part of a Developer's job is writing code and reviewing other Developers' code on their team. They may work in one or several coding languages and work with other stakeholders to ensure that their code performs as expected. 

Most Web Developers work full time on a 9-5 Monday to Friday schedule. Some websites may have a small skeleton staff to keep an eye on their websites during weekends and holidays, so you may be required to work weekends if you're starting.
