I've been into software consulting and has developed flexibility in working with different tech stacks and languages. But lately to get a job understandably people expect being an "expert" in certain technology.
Though I do reasonably high quality maintainable code, I cannot claim to be an expert in specific languages or tech stacks.
Eg: worked on multiple web frameworks, multiple backend technologies, languages, ci/cd devops, cloud, Test frameworks, Mobile native, ios and android as well as hybrid.
It helped me understand vast landscapes of tech, and I can confidently say I don't hesitate to pick right tool for right purpose, or completely different stack.
But, realised that I might have killed/limited my career by not being an expert in 1 field. I have 15 yrs exp and now feel like I have done huge mistake. As very few people seems to understand the value in context of interview. As people expect you to be an expert in a field.
Thoughts?
