Don’t let someone else steer for you or let the industry dictate your path.
This is the UX space. Not every project will see you working end-to-end. It comes down to:
1. What are your goals?
2. What are your strengths?
3. What are your areas of improvement?
4. How do you stay relevant?
5. Who can you learn from?
... What is your end goal? How can you reverse engineer it?
How often do you re-evaluate points 1 to 5? Regardless of your level.
Self awareness is priceless.
