I think you are right re: productized services. I don't want to go from employed generalist to contractor generalist. I've been an IT contractor earlier in my career and I felt it was just another form of employment, with certain advantages and disadvantages (ymmv). I had been thinking of pivoting out of generalism completely but perhaps productizing some aspect of what I have done/learned is worth exploring. Thanks

> I don't want to go from employed generalist to contractor generalist. Ah, then you'll want to specialize. I've seen this work for many folks and I did to some extent (definitely got egg on my face because I thought "<new tech X> can't be hard to learn, I'll just accept this contract and pick it up". Narrator: <new tech X> was indeed hard to learn). If you are looking to specialize, I can't recommend Amy Hoy's work enough: https://stackingthebricks.com/ https://stackingthebricks.com/ The team there has a ton of articles, books and whatnot to help you find the focus you need.
