Any generalists here that have jumped between campaign/brand/product? Did you settle towards one path and was it worth it?

I don’t know if I settled… I like to call it diversification. Working at startups force you to play many roles. Depends on what you want to do as a generalist. I’m playing a hybrid brand marketing strategist and creative director role at one gig while consulting with a series B startup for ad campaigns and branding. As a generalist I feel there’s more opportunity and you can do well in venture capital. Just my two cents.
