Why You Shouldn’t Specialise Too Early in Your Career

You’re probably familiar with the phrase, “A jack of all trades is a master of none.” But have you ever heard the second part of this quote?

It goes like this: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

That kind of changes things, doesn’t it?

The quote perfectly ties into the topic of this episode, where we tackle the question of who is better: a generalist or a specialist.

Our guest is Estera Sendecka, Creative Graphic Designer at NaviParking, who has years of experience as a designer in different work environments. She dives into this topic from three perspectives: that of a young professional, a coworker and a boss to finally clear up this ongoing debate and give you tips on how to advance your career and stand out on the job market.

Listen the full episode to find out why Estera’s studies taught her why you need to wait before becoming a specialist, what advice she has for effective collaboration in a team and what other great tips she has for young professionals.
