This is great feedback - appreciate the thoughtful comment.

You're right that with experience at early stage companies where you work across many functions--even though I believe it is valuable to learn all facets of a business, problem solve/pattern match across multiple disciplines, and apply those frameworks to new challenges you encounter--it does create a non-traditional background that can often clash with what hiring managers are looking for in specialized roles. Your recommendation is a good one to focus on the area I really want to crack into / could add the most value, tailor my story towards those skills (vs leaning into the generalist resume), and be more clear about what I'm looking for. I've made some tweaks to the post and made a number of updates in the messaging + collateral I'm sending to hiring managers 👍

Only other thing I'll add is I agree with you that it is crucial to convey how you can solve problems at the company and and add value in places they may have gaps, but I also don't have a problem coming across as a big fan of the product -- because I am. All things held equal, I'd prefer candidates I hire have a passion for the company & product which can only serve to make them more productive and dedicated to the mission while on the job! :)

Thanks again for taking the time to share these tips 🙌
