Being a generalist is difficult. All of the positions I've held in the past 10 years were landed because the interviewer recognized my intelligence/problem solving ability and could look past whatever specific skill or language that I did not have traditional experience in.

BAs in a software shop can straddle that tech/biz line (I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS DAMMIT!) sometimes... I think it's really a function of finding the right place and the right people that can recognize the value of having a "utility infielder" on their team.

I don't have much else to offer besides encouragement from another generalist or as I like to describe myself as a geeky/techie product manager.

good luck!

Thanks for your support.

Finding a "right" company can be challenging indeed.
