Between this and https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/11/what-is-my-career-development-plan/ you've captured well a lot of my experiences. I'm also a magpie type; so far my "web tech" career has seen me work in sectors like web hosting, advertising, productivity tools, engineering, retail, health, and cyber security. Whatever my next role is will likely be a different sector again. These days whenever managers ask about career plans or progression, I tend to just send them a link to something I wrote a few years ago: https://shoehornwithteeth.com/ramblings/2018/08/my-future-in-tech/ Hopefully writing these posts and linking to them is enough of an explanation for future questions about your career.
