Jack of all trades - master of learning
Session Type: 20 Minute Session
In software engineering, some people believe that being specialised will give you a more satisfaction in your career. However, I believe that being a generalist can be just as rewarding, and is highly valuable especially inside small businesses. In this talk, I will discuss:
- Generalists vs specialists - what's the difference?
- Why being a generalist is valuable
- How to get better at learning quickly - finding how you learn and using that to your advantage
- T-shaped people (and maybe some other shapes too)
- How to sell yourself as a generalist to potential employers
