Generally agreed, but you're looking at stable FAANGs. If you look at startups, for the most part, need lots of senior generalists who have a can-do attitude to 'just figure it out'. Ideally, those generalists get rewarded w/ stock (side stepping the trigger topic on purpose) because they joined close to the ground floor. Most startups don't need and/or can't afford specialists until around Series B. Again ideally, if you needed a specialist early, you've got one on the founding team. Many exceptions to the above statement, but it fits this topic's narrative.
