Prioritize general software dev over niche Salesforce

The user's existing experience in React, Node, Flask, and GCP provides a strong foundation for general software development roles (Full-Stack, Backend, Frontend, Cloud Engineer). While the Salesforce offer provides immediate employment in a tough market, it leads to a specialized path (Apex, Visualforce, LWC) that might not fully leverage their current diverse skillset or align with their stated preference for 'native software development.' Pursuing general software development roles offers broader career flexibility, greater market demand for their existing skills, and potentially higher long-term growth opportunities. Taking the Salesforce role as a temporary step while continuing to search for more aligned roles is a pragmatic approach, but the better long-term strategic opportunity lies in roles that utilize and expand upon their current generalist development stack.
