T-shape (already mentioned here) is a must. It allows having a basic understanding of a wide bunch of domains while keeping deep lore in a few most appropriate ones. I had to switch a few times between similar but substantially different domains. More so, I had got a case when a variant of burn-out led me to emotional detesting of the area I worked for 8 years... and rather easy move to another one saved productivity.
