 I graduated veterinary medicine, left my country to study psychology & did 200 hours of analysis, became a builder, then moved into IT and was employed as a penetration tester for 4 years. A few smaller jobs scattered in between.

I've enjoyed the variety for sure, but it comes at a cost. It is easier to earn if you are concentrating and specializing.

 I don't bother putting it all on a CV, just the IT stuff is varied and long enough lol.

HR ppl look for clear cut specialists.

I am looking to switch from pentesting to python coding right now, and can't make it to an interview as I don't have a Python Developer position in my CV...

I'm past doctoring CVs though so may have to go back to cyber security, if my business ventures keep failing lol.
