&gt; Scared because I don&#x27;t have a degree and at 30 I&#x27;m competing with younger, new grads.<p>10 years work experience &gt; fresh grad with a degree that has no idea what lies ahead. You know the ins and outs of companies, the kind of people you deal with, you don&#x27;t throw tantrums, deadlines are deadlines.<p>&gt; I&#x27;ve built banner ads for advertisers, booked online campaigns in various platforms Google DFP, Yahoo APT.<p>Yep, experience in different platforms is a huge plus.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m a jack of all trades master of none. I&#x27;ve always taken that as an insult rather than a compliment. I hear it as &quot;your mediocre at a bunch of things...not really good at anything.&quot;<p>I hear it as &quot;I know that much, too much.&quot; Being a jack of all trades means you know enough to move around. Your wide range of experience allows you to look for a wider range of jobs. You are more flexible to position change. You are no stranger to being moved across projects, across people, across locations.<p>&gt; what advice do you have for a 30 year old who&#x27;s about to embark on a new adventure?<p>- Read up on the latest trends. Most job interviews will have questions about them (though the job itself may not actually use the latest tech).<p>- Be sharp, concise and confident in job interviews. I&#x27;ve heard from my co-workers who do the interviews for new candidates. They find resumes good, but they fail candidates because they were terrible at interviews.<p>- Up the ante. Take up higher positions. You probably make a good project manager with that 10 years around people.
