On the whole, I think I agree with Scott&#x27;s advice in this post. However, there are some real challenges that come with the choice to be &#x27;good at a few things&#x27; instead of the &#x27;best at one thing. Namely, if you&#x27;re not starting your own business, I think it massively reduces your employment mobility.<p>I am fortunate in that I am valued within my organisation for my &#x27;generalist&#x27; spread of skills (including communication, development, analysis &amp; sales). It&#x27;s clear to me how useful it is to be able to approach a problem from several angles and engage with specialists from different areas effectively.<p>However, if I ever want to move out of my current organisation, I feel as though I would end up taking a significant step backwards in my career because almost all advertised jobs are specialised roles.<p>This creates a constant pressure in my mind to specialise and focus more on a single area.
