Echo this sentiment completely. I'm the only one in my team covering both hardware designs, software development, and sales. I'm not nearly as expert in any of these areas as my colleagues, but my manager can throw pretty much anything my way and I can run with it, and as a result generally do the best in quarterly reviews. From a managers perspective, if they can hire someone who can do 3 jobs for the price of one, then that's the best return on investment. However, an expert in an area will see through that. They know a job split 3 ways is a job 1/3rd done. I can get something working to a proof-of-concept level, but not to a scalable, problem-free one (unless given more time to work on something singularly). Best bet is to play to the crowd from my experience. Management class: tell them how much you've done. Engineering class: tell them how well you've done something.
