I agree that both depth and breadth makes for an appealing candidate,
but at the same time, most employers only hire you to do *one* thing
really well. Because of this, I think over the span of your career,
it's most rewarding and interesting to go deep on a particular aspect
of the profession only for a while (say, withing one position in one
company), then move to another and another.
When you start getting comfortable, it's time to reinvent yourself. :)
