I'm a 35 years old Software Engineer with multiple experiences in startups. I think I'm average (or good) in many areas, but almost nowhere an expert. I dabble in everything: back, front, devops, and even outside of the web, I started a business, I have some product skills (UI, UX), marketing, business, etc.
And I actually liked this polyvalence, until now, because it became very difficult to find a new job that takes advantage of my versatility. The profiles sought are always specialized in established companies. Almost no one is looking for a "jack of all trades."
I would probably be a good fit being the co-founder of a new startup, but I can't afford not being paid for many months right now.
At this stage of my life, I am starting to regret my versatility while I sincerely thought it was a strength.
What would you do?
