> Your first job pretty much determines in what direction your career it's going to go.

This is untrue. Your first job shows you what all the variations in roles actually are in this industry. It isn't just coding. Do the work, take note of what everyone does. And if there is something that you like more than coding, try to learn that.

You have flexibility - nothing is set in stone. Many people change gears numerous times as their career progresses. Don't stress over it.
