- As a consultancy in it's growing stage, sometimes cross pollination of skills are expected, where in a back end developer would be assigned to a front end project which may have valid reasons (ie., to keep the pay cycle running for an employee, use resources wisely, etc.,) but in any consultancy at times this is unavoidable. So I wouldn't say this as a major concern as long as that assignment goes beyond 3 or 4 months where a person would really struggle to show case his skills on an unknown domain.
