It’s a fascinating field! I’m personally sort of a generalist, so I do a bit of all this stuff without getting all that good at any of it. 😂

That's the spirit!

As soon as I realised we are all doing that, I felt a lot better about not knowing all the things about all the things all the time.

Nothing wrong with being a Jack of (Almost) All Trades, in fact it's always something I look for when hiring analysts.

Thanks Alan, I have some more soul searching to do this week, I’m trying to make some kind of plan without agreeing to do everything and learn everything :)

There has to be a happy medium between expanding your knowledge base and stretching yourself too thin over too many areas. Good luck in finding it!
