Design manager, not a coder, but been in the workforce for quite a while at this point ... The specifics vary from person to person, but the first 5-10 years of your career tends to be the "find what you don't want to do for the rest of your life" phase. It's actually a good thing to realize that you don't want to do X; you have a strong data point (or several) of what you know to avoid for future jobs. You know you like working with people (so you can tailor the job search towards in-office jobs). You like solving real-world problems (sometimes companies where tech is a single department vs the whole shebang are better for this -- tech-only companies tend to be a little navel-gazey about their own use but that's from an outsider, take with a massive grain of salt :>). Apply to many different places. See if you can get contracting gigs if your life circumstances allow for it to "taste" different companies and get more data points. I wish you the best of luck.
