Sorry to be blunt but you are not "gifted" - you might have experienced being the most intelligent person in the room, but that's dependent on the other people

Sorry to be blunt but you are not "gifted" - you might have experienced being the most intelligent person in the room, but that's dependent on the other people in the room.. Applying for a junior iOS job and instead be offered a solutions architect role speaks more about the company you work for than your skills. I'd advise trying to zoom in on what excites you about your current role, and look for opportunities at a larger company that will stretch you and engage you with people of equal or greater ability.
