Personally think that having a specialty is the best move right now. Find the niche spot and excel in it. The only hard part about that is making moves after you get in that spot. With how fast everything changes too, you can be in a really narrow market, pros and cons to that.

Number one thing you should do is avoid the "hot" language or framework. Rust is great, but good luck getting something. Older legacy tech has way more available roles.

I am a generalist, however, I landed my current job only because of very specific experience. Right now, jobs are getting 100s of applications from people with great skills, so having a specialization can help you cut through the noise and get the interview.
I excel at fixing, designing, troubleshooting anything cars, complex networks, doesn’t matter. The way it work for me though is I’m below average in other areas that other people find easy creative skills, social networks. I have to apply a lot of effort in those areas to have any success. For many years my hobby was new hobbies. Where I get the highest salary is being an expert in security and integration with experience in all areas. So I’d say start off general, then specialize in a high demand area to maximize salary.
