I'm wondering whether security or backend would be better for career growth (I'm still an intern). Specifically at Robinhood if that makes any difference. In the past I've been working full-stack.

    None of that matters. Having a good manager and team is what matters. Security is specialized backend to me, you might find backend roles easily but not security so I would prefer security to get a well rounded experience early in my career.

    Backend work opens most doors. Going from security to BE dev is a bit harder due to coding bar. I love security though, will never go back.

      What’s the coding bar like for security? I’m trying to go from back-end SWE to AppSec.

      Lower than SWE for sure at most companies. AppSec should still have some type of coding round or code review scenario, depends on team here.
