Hey, I recently have been hired full time for a big company after having worked as an intern for them since May last year.

My official hired position is for UI design, but my role in their team thus far has been a mash of UI and UX, mostly UX since we are in early stages for all the projects I worked on. I am the only designer on the team (it's pretty new), so they all turn to me when they need any sort of design help.

My manager says I can also choose to go into back-end coding since I have some practice there as well. I think I might prefer sticking mainly with UX or UI, but I could also enjoy coding and actually realizing the sketches I make...I'm wondering if you have any thoughts about where I find myself now. I enjoy all these different skills and I'd love to work on improving all of them, but not if it means I can't get REALLY good at any of them. I'll graduate in May and start working straight after; do you think there'd be any down sides career-wise if I take my manager up on her offer to do more than just UI and UX?
