That's really interesting to hear; as a generalist, I've had a hard time finding positions that aren't super spiky!

- WeaselNo7 5y agoSame boat here. Do we need a hiring market specifically for generalists?
- pyb 5y agoThis. I've learned it's best to masquerade as a committed specialist in order to get a job. OTOH, saying "I'm going to do whatever is needed to help your company succeed" isn't great marketing.
- GianFabien 5y agoMe too. I have only had one job where I was specifically hired because of my broad range of skills and experience. It was with (at the time) a 6 person company. We grew and a couple of years later were merged with a much larger competitor. Seems to me recruiters are only interested in people already doing exactly the job being advertised. As if somebody with lots of experience in lots of technologies suddenly can't come up to speed with a different product/tool.
