Yes that's exactly what my friend did. I fear exactly what you said that I might not have the level of experience to be able to do the same, and part of that desire is also hinged on the "master of none" part. I've (so far) not come across any really "big" robotics company (that is not industrial arms related, which to begin with is not that interested in "jack of all trades" and more interested in experts in Software/EE/mechanical separately). So if big company is a goal, less robotics and more "software" is the only reasonable career nudge. It is encouraging to hear that the diversity in the experience can be seen in a positive light though, so thank you for relieving some of my anxiety surrounding it.
