> If you are a generalist and you feel undervalued, you're likely in the wrong project or too involved in phases of a project where your contribution can't move the needle significantly anymore.
Generalists could also be the people in the project who get things done: they may have sufficient domain knowledge to implement the recommendations of a specialist. In poorly-managed or understaffed teams, a generalist might feel a bit frustrated because they're a go-to for any Job That Needs Doing Right Now, even if it falls outside of the field of their deepest experience.
