I have a similar background, but I started my own shop. More people asking for web and mobile applications than embedded ones, so for the "how" part, I stumbled into it. As for enjoyment, it's all good except that javascript and its ecosystem are a trash fire.
Not such a great language to begin with, then add all of the variants and tooling (node/browser, ES3/5/6, babel, npm, yarn, typescript, webpack, grunt, etc, etc), and the fact that it seems to change every day, just... ugh.
I'd take some poorly-documented embedded C API like Nordic's any day of the week over the JS ecosystem.

Most of the time, to make competitive products we had to build our own APIs form the metal up optimized for our use cases wich means you have zero suppor from the IC manufacturer and a clusterfuck of problemes waiting for you.
