"So, I'd say, don't look for a position as a dual designer/coder. Look for a position as a designer or as a programer but just *BE* the designer/programmer that you are! "
As someone in similar shoes to yourself I completely agree with Dave here. Although advertised positions requiring both are rare that's not always the case once you're inside. I often go into contracts as either a IX/UX designer OR a UI developer and, because of my background, find myself getting involved in the other. I usually take these roles because I see an opportunity to get involved in both when doing a bit of background research on the company. These days I tend to sell myself as a IX/UX designer (major) with a solid UI dev (minor) skill set as thats how I want the balance to be. And yes, it is possible to be great at both. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
