If you are a tech jack of all traits... "architect", but seriously... I have somewhat gone this route and I would say it isn't ideal - the logical trajectory becomes to gain deep domain knowledge and move into a psuedo technical role translating between executives / operational people and various technology specialities. If you try to be a pure technologist with only average or less skill in everything and no area of deep technical skill, it is hard to progress to senior levels - because you are not better than a cheap junior at what ever they want you to do. They want T shaped people. Your way out of this is to get a specialist role and stay in it for a few years, or to enter a knowledge intense domain like finance, medical, or science - and become a T shaped person who knows a lot about prop trading and a little bit about devops and web programming. Then you can supervise the specialists who do those things, with the domain knowledge to ensure they are building the right thing. A qualification in the non techy domain subject of your choice is useful - qualify as a CPA, do a masters in financial engineering, or computational biology...
