I have been in my current role for about 6 years. While I wasn't hired for it specifically, my average week has my time split between product management, managing a small team to develop those products, ux design, and front-end JS/Python development. It's really a roll where I am all over the place and I do really enjoy it. However, due to the Covid reality in the world right now I am starting to think my time here is up. How can I find another job that isn't specialized to one specific roll as I really do enjoy being a jack of all trades master of none and would like to continue to do that in my next role. I'm also fairly experienced with 16 years of "jack of all trade" type positions.

New on Sports Illustrated: College Football Remains Undefeated in Pandemic America
After the Pac-12 voted to play football in 2020, all of the Power 5 conferences will have a fall season despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
Football is undefeated.
That is the lesson from our summer of angst, our fall of flip-flopping, our back-and-forth battle over whether to play this season amid a pandemic that is not over. Football will not be denied. Football will steamroll those who stand in its path. Football will win in a blowout, then point at the scoreboard.
It is an amazing societal phenomenon. In a nation that had to alter almost every facet of daily life, football was placed on the Must Preserve List. History will judge whether that choice, which might have been more of a primal urging, was the right one.
The National Football League, the true American sporting behemoth, was never going to let COVID-19 prevent it from playing. Money was no object and dissent was no concern. The NFL plowed on, with a rigorous and expensive testing program that served its purpose.
College football is where the tension lies, given its ties to higher education (classrooms closed, practices ongoing) and its morally squishy economics (so much money coming in, so little of it going to the athletes themselves). The inherent conflicts are glaring in the best of times, and even more so in the morass of 2020. For months the sport writhed around in self-doubting agony, its putative leaders all over the map, seemingly lacking both consensus and conviction.
In early August, with the virus raging, consensus started to form. The sport was shutting down. Most everyone at the Division I level opted out, leaving just six FBS conferences out of 34 still playing. But when those
Stubborn Six didn’t fold, establishing a beachhead of sorts, that was the turning point.Then a rudderless sport lacking centralized leadership reverted to its DNA. At its root, college football is about status—bragging rights, superiority over a competing tribe, our way of life vs. yours, our bank account vs. yours. Those who were playing had the status. They were “big time.” They were committed. They were having fun (or as much fun as can be ginned up playing a skeleton season in a mostly empty stadium).
Those who were not playing couldn’t stand it. They would not stand for it. The president of the United States seized on the passion/pathology of football fans, trying to use it for political gain.
In the Big Ten, the commissioner and the school presidents came under siege. The outsized outrage—WE MUST HAVE FOOTBALL—won the day in the oldest and richest college conference.
Daily antigen testing? That was vital, no doubt. But you know what else pushed this to a critical mass? Watching other conferences play.
DELLENGER: Inside the COVID-19 Testing Advancements That Could Be Key to College Sports
Last week, the Big Ten got its season and its status back. That, in turn, forced the hand of the Pac-12. Peer pressure isn’t just a teenage thing; it happens at the millionaire leadership level of college football as well. In that world, being excluded from the “big time” club is worse than anything.
So the Pac-12, forever playing catch-up in the college sports status struggle, got caught up Thursday. Late and last, but the league is here. It will play a fall football season like the rest of the Power 5 conferences.
And then later Thursday, the Mountain West Conference signed on. Schools with less ability to afford and implement a top-flight testing regimen pushed onward. Why? They couldn’t sit on the sideline and watch the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA and the Sun Belt play.
Friday we have the 10th and final FBS league reconsidering its opt-out. The Mid-American, populated by schools beset with money issues, must decide whether it can somehow make a go of it or stew in the low-status ignominy of sitting this one out.
So even with the sport was down three touchdowns in early August, it chalked up another "W" in late September. Football wins again, relentlessly overcoming institutional inconsistencies and medical obstacles.
Every fall sport the NCAA sponsors was moved to the spring. FBS football was perfectly willing to go it alone.
The NCAA medical advisory group listed the sport in its highest risk category during the summer, and chief medical officer Brian Hainline opined against playing. That was brushed aside. The NCAA had no jurisdiction over FBS football, so why listen?
School and conference leaders who said during the summer that regular students would have to be on campus and in-person classes happening to justify a football season stopped saying that. Those goalposts weren’t just moved, they were uprooted and put into storage sheds.
FORDE: As ACC Pushes on in the Face of New Hurdles, Can We Drop the Charade?
When outbreaks happened on campus as regular students moved back in for the semester, football was unimpeded. In the scary month of March, a single NBA player tested positive and shut down every sport in America. In the defiant month of September, more than a thousand cases on a single campus couldn’t shut down football practice.
A big reason why football was considered valuable in that context: if players didn’t have the motivation of a season to play—the pigskin carrot on the end of the stick—they wouldn’t take their health and safety as seriously. They would lose discipline. Keep playing, and the team’s virus numbers will stay low.
FORDE: Independent No More: Notre Dame's First ACC Game Shows Membership Could Have its Benefits
(Among those who advanced that theory were officials at Notre Dame, a school that made a couple of notable concessions to football: joining a conference for the first time in 133 years, and continuing August practice even when campus shut down due to high general student virus numbers. Somehow, the season carrot must have withered. The Fighting Irish game against Wake Forest Saturday has been called off, and contact tracing from South Florida’s game against Notre Dame has also postponed USF’s Saturday game against Florida Atlantic.)
Nearly two-dozen college games have been postponed or canceled thus far. That has been deemed the cost of doing business amid a pandemic. Nobody is slowing down because of it.
In the Southeastern Conference, athletic programs won’t divulge their testing numbers. Trust us. We’re committed to health and safety. That cliché is good enough for the fans in that league, because football.
One of the big reasons this is all working is that college football players have not become notably seriously ill. Let’s desperately hope that continues.
If it does continue, the indomitable will of football can be considered a societal positive. It gave us a fall college season that millions hungered for.
If it doesn’t continue, and something goes wrong, this will be the undefeated sport’s pyrrhic victory.
New on Sports Illustrated: Mountain West to Begin Fall Football Season Oct. 24
The league will play an eight-game conference schedule, with the championship game held on Dec. 19, though it's still unclear if all 12 teams will participate.
The Mountain West voted to reverse its initial decision and begin its football season this fall, the league announced Thursday evening. Teams will play an eight-game schedule, with games beginning on Oct. 24 and the conference title game happening on Dec. 19.
The Mountain West did not clarify whether all 12 members would participate in the season. The league will reportedly reveal additional details on Friday, per Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic.
The news comes hours after the Pac-12 announced it would also be playing football this fall. The Pac-12 will play a seven-game schedule and begin on Nov. 6. The plan is for all 12 schools to try to play, though Auerbach reports the schools "still have some work to do" to reach that point.
The Mountain West announced the postponement of fall sports on Aug. 10, saying it would "explore the feasibility of rescheduling fall sports competition." The vote came just a day after the Big Ten and Pac-12 reached the same decision, with each conference looking to hold their football seasons in spring 2021.
“Since the start of the pandemic, our membership and staff have been working diligently to prepare for a fall sports season,” Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said at the time. “We were hopeful we could carefully and responsibly conduct competition as originally scheduled with essential protocols in place. However, numerous external factors and unknowns outside our control made this difficult decision necessary"
The Big Ten voted last week to change its initial decision and start a shortened season on the weekend of Oct. 23–24. The league cited "daily antigen testing, enhanced cardiac screening and an enhanced data-driven approach when making decisions about practice/competition," as reasons behind its decision to play a fall season.
The Mountain West was the second conference to postpone its fall football season, following the MAC.

New on Sports Illustrated: Report: Mountain West 'Optimistic' for October Return
The Mountain West is reportedly looking to hold an eight-week schedule, with opening day set for Oct. 24.
Mountain West officials are "optimistic" the league will return to play in October, according to Yahoo Sports'
Pete Thamel.The conference athletic directors reportedly met on Monday to finalize a testing plan that "involves frequent antigen testing," per Thamel. A meeting and subsequent vote is reportedly slated for Friday.
The Mountain West has reportedly targeted Oct. 24 for its opening day in 2020. Each team in the conference is slated to play in eight games before the Mountain West Conference title game on Dec. 19. With an eight-game schedule, the conference will likely get to participate in at least one New Year's Six Bowl, per Thamel.
Friday's vote could make the Mountain West the second conference to overturn its decision to cancel the 2020 fall season. The Big Ten recently voted to start the 2020 season on Oct. 24 after a previous decision to cancel.

New on Sports Illustrated: Forde-Yard Dash: Nebraska's Schedule Complaints Show How Far Huskers Have Fallen
Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos says his football team "deserved" an easier schedule, indicating the Huskers have suddenly gained a sense of self-awareness that's been long absent.
Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football (folding chairs sold separately at Tulane):
FIRST QUARTER: NEBRASKA NEEDS A HUG
You’ve really got to hand it to Nebraska (1) for finally figuring out where it stands in the football hierarchy. The Cornhuskers are just a piece of background furniture, part of the scenery, another mediocre program out there trying to scrape its way to bowl eligibility for the first time in four years. They have been a subpar member of the Big Ten, and they’ve finally overcome their own institutional arrogance long enough to acknowledge it.
Athletic director Bill Moos (2) said this to local reporters Saturday, after the conference released its
third (and please, Lord, final) 2020 football schedule: “I’ve got a good football team with a great football coach that deserves a break here or there to start getting back on track to being a contender in the Big Ten West.”Nebraska coach Scott Frost (3) said in August, while passive-aggressively ruminating on secession from the league for the season: “We want to play a Big Ten schedule.” Now here is Moos in September, after a bloody but successful fight to have a fall season: Uh, not that Big Ten schedule.
Yep, Nebraska is looking for pity points. The lil’ Cornhuskers need a break. “Deserve” a break, even. They want an easier schedule than they got because they just haven’t been able to compete, and playing Ohio State (4) and Penn State (5) is just not fairrrrrrrr.
Never mind that Ohio State and Penn State were on Nebraska’s original schedule, and the conference simply took one opponent off of each team’s original nine-game league slate to come up with the current plan. The opponent the Huskers lost was Rutgers, which takes away a victory — but if Nebraska thought it was going to get that break it wants (deserves!) after five bellicose weeks that included eight players suing the league, they might be a wee bit delusional in Lincoln.
Commissioner Kevin Warren (6) has heard enough out of Nebraska for this lifetime.
You know who else plays both Ohio State and Penn State this season? And Michigan? And in fact does it every season? Michigan State does. And Indiana. And Maryland. And Rutgers. Nebraska has spent the previous six seasons playing in the easier of the Big Ten’s two divisions, the West, which has won a grand total of zero league championship games since the current alignment started in 2014.
Despite playing in the easier division, Nebraska’s conference record in that time has been 23-29. Poor guys really do need — wait, deserve — a break.
But Moos wasn’t just complaining about playing what might be the two best teams in the Big Ten. He was also complaining about the order of the games. Ohio State is the opener, on the road, and you would not believe the horrors travel apparently presents to Nebraska.
“First time we’re on a charter aircraft, first time we’re in a hotel, first time everybody on the sidelines has masks on, first time with electronic whistles, everything’s going to be new,” Moos said. “I didn’t feel that had to happen.”
Poor things.
First time on a charter aircraft? Incredible difficulty there. But thank god it’s not commercial. The hardship there would be way too much for a Nebraska athlete. (Except all the non-revenue ones who are used to it.)
First time in a hotel? Here is a surprise hurdle. It would seem possible — perhaps even likely — that all the Nebraska players have some familiarity with hotels. If they need help with the key cards, have athletic support staffers hold their hands and show them how they work. The elevators could pose another immense challenge — but, hey, Scott Frost has just over a month to coach his guys up on what all the buttons do.
“I don’t want to come across as the champion complainer,” Moos said, having come across as exactly that, earning a rare Big Ten championship for the Huskers. “I’m going to protect my school and what is fair. … I wasn’t just going to sit around and listen and get kicked around. I’ll never do that. They knew I wasn’t pleased.”
Now you may think that of all years, in all leagues, in the midst of a pandemic and with so many campuses dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks, complaining about the difficulty of a football schedule would come across as a smidge tone deaf. But please understand: it is vital that the Big Ten knows that Nebraska Is Not Pleased. When the ninth-best football program in the conference is unhappy, that can weigh on everyone. Endeavor to persevere.
FOUR FOR THE PLAYOFF
The Dash’s updated College Football Playoff outlook, if today were Selection Sunday:
Sugar Bowl: Top seed Clemson (7) vs. fourth seed UCF (8).
The Tigers (2-0) have outscored their first two opponents 76-0 in the first half. Those opponents (Wake Forest and The Citadel) are a combined 0-4, so let’s just say there is tougher sledding to come. But this has all the distinguishing characteristics of another dominant Clemson team: the defense is allowing just 3.76 yards per play, second-lowest of any team nationally that has played two games; and the offense has clicked like clockwork when the starters are in the game. (The backups have been another story and will need to show improvement, given some of the week-to-week roster atrophy that we’ve seen across the country.) Next up for Clemson: Virginia, Oct. 3.
The Knights (1-0) burst onto the scene with a season-opening blowout of Georgia Tech, which in turn had raised some eyebrows by upsetting Florida State the week before. Sophomore quarterback Dillon Gabriel has continued UCF’s tradition of Hawaiian excellence at the position, following McKenzie Milton. Gabriel lit up the Yellow Jackets for 417 yards and four touchdown passes, and his one interception came when his arm was hit on the throw. UCF’s 660 yards total offense Saturday are the most by far that any team has recorded against a Power 5 opponent thus far this season. Next for UCF: at East Carolina Saturday.
Rose Bowl: Second seed Notre Dame (9) vs. third seed Miami (10).
The Fighting Irish (2-0) started much faster in game two vs. South Florida than in game one vs. Duke. Notre Dame pounced on the Bulls, scoring touchdowns on its first four possessions, and only a missed field goal kept the Irish from scoring on their first seven possessions. In two games Notre Dame has had two different 100-yard rushers: Kyren Williams in the opener and C’Bo Flemister against USF. Meanwhile the Irish defense has only allowed opponents to convert 20 percent of their third downs into first downs. Next for Notre Dame: at Wake Forest Saturday.
The Hurricanes (2-0) have a new offensive dynamism built around transfer quarterback D’Eriq King, a former Houston Cougar, and new coordinator Rhett Lashlee. Some of their touchdowns against Louisville Saturday were comically easy thanks to defensive busts, but Miami is making big plays on offense at a rate not seen in the past couple of sluggish seasons. King has an elite tight end weapon in Berlin Jordan (10 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns this season) and a workhorse running back in Cam’Ron Harris (134 yards rushing in each game thus far). With Notre Dame’s arrival and Miami showing life, the non-Clemson ACC is looking better than it has in years. Next for Miami: Florida State Saturday.
Dropped out: Louisiana, Army.
Also considered: BYU, Louisiana.
