How did I end up at flexjobs.com and careerpivot.com? I did a search on "generalist job -nurse" (because apparently generalist rn as well as hr is a thing). Then I stumbled across a column at careerpivot.com. That led me to (the author's) podcast. One of the podcasts was an interview with someone from flexjobs.com.
Also of note, I read that in smaller companies where people need to fulfill several roles, a generalist will fare better. In a larger company that can afford to hire enough people to cover all needs, specialists will thrive.
I don't know if people can switch between being a generalist and specialist. I can only speak for my own experience. I think I specialize up to the "adept" stage in any givin discipline, then lose interest. And I don't think I'm likely to change. So it may be true that a smaller company is a better fit for me, and if it becomes a larger company, I would lose my place.
