what are you trying to do? make a website? or have a career in tech? Short answer is web design, interface design, user experience design, information architecture, can only help you build better products. people mention FAANG as the high bar for salaries and it seems strong knowledge in CS, algorithms and backend rigor is a must. I have a diverse take since my background is the opposite, learned how to make websites and got into "full stack/frontend" what have you. anyway all that to say "product engineer" is a kind of made up term but it makes a good distinction. backend rigor is fantastic for Google level businesses, but i'd argue and recommend to invest in learning how to ship good and useful products. and that easily includes (web) interface design.
