Working in a team is not only about skill, but about work-culture. If they have dismissed you because you have a broad range of interests, then that place wasn't right for you anyways.

There are very, very few places where a broad range of professional skills is considered an asset for a developer.

Most places want cogs. If you're too broad or have too many teeth, you're not going to fit in with the other cogs.

But you may be pitching at the wrong level. Developer jobs may not be the right niche for someone with a broad spectrum of skills. (By which I mean genuinely broad multidisciplinary professional skills and interests, not [three popular coding languages with some backend experience].)

Management and strategy may be a better fit.
