There are jobs for chameleons. It's just that there are fewer of them and companies don't tend to understand that they need them, so they don't explicitly hire

Companies hire people to make a specific problem go away. If you're not a "make a specific problem go away" guy, then you need to find another way in.
I'm a fan of, rather than responding to job calls, identifying what companies you want to work for, deciding what you want to do for them, then going and meeting the people that can put you in the position to do those things. If you can't meet them directly, find people that can introduce you. Make a plan and give it about one year (these things take time).
- ivan_ah 13y agoThx for the advice, especially the comment about the time-scale of the process. I'm going to start looking into some of the R&D labs out there.
