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
Likely depends on the type of workplace you prefer. *Usually* larger companies/teams will have dedicated ICs for each. Smaller startups often mix or merge certain roles.
