Specialize to catch the attention of HR/Recruiters/VPs; you are right, no one wants a generalist.
However, I find once I get in and do my specialty, I'll then generalize and flex as the project needs me. I am paid to be nice and make problems go away, above all.

Sometimes I’m also just paid to be „that outside guy“ who can bring in fresh ideas or change things that were set in stone just by virtue of not having a stake in internal corporate politics and not looking to take away anyone‘s cushy job.
- frozencell 4y agoAre you a product manager?
- alex_suzuki 4y agoNope, software engineer. But you can make a huge difference, especially as a generalist.
