Many small business.

The first job I had where I did anything technical (basic JS and HTML) also had me cold calling, answering phones, designing brochures, fiberglass repair, and some other stuff I’m forgetting. Small businesses frequently have more niche jobs than people and are more than happy to have people help where they are interested.

My first full software job was a direct to consumer company, and during the Christmas rush the entire front office was on the packing line.

Larger companies tend to appreciate people staying in their lane.

In small companies there is one lane.
