them things don't go together
especially if you're just starting out as a jr programmer
you will be the bottom person on a team
you will have a senior person tell you what to code and how to code it

you will lose all sense of coding autonomy

you will be forced to adhere to whatever coding system they already have in place

the work can be boring and very repetitive
many times businesses find one thing that works
and repeat that process hundreds if not thousands of times after it has been efficientized making them the most profit

they are not going to reinvent the wheel each go round


EDIT:
i've done all that work that you mentioned
Forensic Accountant
Statistician
Biostatistician
Data Modeller
