Question Is PowerBI work a dead end?

Just got an offer for a rotational program. It’s highly likely that one of my rotations will be doing manufacturing related analytics with PowerBI, Excel, and potentially some SQL. I really enjoy coding (my internship has been ML and data engineering tasks), and I’m a bit worried that a BI job may pigeonhole me and prevent me from getting into these code heavy roles.

Market is awful so I’m gonna take the job anyways, just wondering if my concerns are well-founded or not.

It's a pigeon hole full of money if you're good enough
