Re: confused?
Its always a good marketable skill to be proficient in both front end and back end. A few months experience in Back end is hardly any experience at all. If you look at industry trends, tools from Magma or something similar, more and more the line between front end and back end is fading. Another things, defination of front end always depends on who you are talking to. For an RTL designer, every one else is back end. For Verification Engineers or DFT engineers, they are front end and Physical designers are back end.
