The sexy, talked about jobs are all in web and mobile development. If you want "real programming" jobs, look to the old, staid companies that make B2B software. I interned at Ericsson and the vast majority of development was done in C, C++, and Java. They wrote control software for network devices, and it was really interesting stuff to work on. You might find that in the infrastructure divisions of Google or Amazon, but it's almost all you'll find at companies like Ericsson.
