I second this so much. Not everywhere is the USA, or a FAANG. What I do would probably be split among 2/3 positions in a large company. In a sense this means I'm less efficient, but it also means I'm able to give a lot of value to the company in a lot of different scenarios.

Many more companies than you think are very happy to take that tradeoff.

I appreciate the reminder. I work at a smaller place and boy am I all over the place depending on the work that's coming in.
