It's funny. One of my friends lost his job in a round of layoffs recently and was lamenting that his skills were based way too much on their internal technology for him to ever find another job. I walked through it with him and explained that you don't realize how much stuff is the same anywhere. Communicating with customers & stakeholders is the same anywhere. Working with your coworkers is the same anywhere. Managing a project has the same steps in every company and if you're good at it it will translate. Likewise requirements gathering. Your knowledge of various domains that you pick up. Etc etc etc. MOST of what you're trying to do has been done before. All the day-to-day work that makes your business successful has been done thousands of times before. The only thing that's new is a few minor implementation details.
