Picking a side might be more lucrative in terms of job demand. It's difficult to take sell yourself without a focus/niche. Once you land somewhere often your role becomes more ambiguous and can provide help/leadership with all your talents.

I always thought about it the other way. Having both abilities makes you stand out. But I see your point how it would be easier niching down at the beginning

I have a resume for UI Engineer, product design, and front-end development. Right now they’re not really different lol, but I change the one I use based on the job I’m applying for. There are dedicated UI engineer/Design engineer roles that explicitly require both backgrounds.

These are good questions. I’m also confused with all these titles

i’d say whichever side you want to focus on should be the lead. UI/UX developer might be the best mix of both
