I fall into this group. I've so far found it to be a strength (mostly).
R&D/prototype style work benefits highly from having generalists around. Most normal people just don't have a lot of breadth in terms of knowing what else is out there or what's been done outside of a narrowly defined field.
95% of the time you'll be greeted with a "huh...interesting" and no follow up, but in my experience that remaining 5% can be pretty awesome when you stumble upon something that solves a problem in a way nobody else imagined.
- giantg2 5y ago"R&D/prototype style work" That sounds great, but it also sounds rare and potentially low paid.
- throwaway6734 5y agoI work in a similar role and it was a pita to get and involved luck. They're definitely rare, but not low paid
- edrxty 5y agoI work embedded so pretty much everything falls into R&D in the field. Like obviously stay away from maintenance projects but most new development is a science project in my experience.
