Pivoting from IT Generalist to Specialized Expert
I’ve been in IT for nearly a decade, primarily working in support and analyst roles. I’ve built experience across several areas such as basic automation, basic software development, basic networking, and basic cybersecurity. What I mean by basic is I took classes in my local community classes. While this has made me a strong generalist, I’m now looking to take my career to the next level by specializing in a specific discipline or industry. I’d like to transition from being a “jack of all trades” to becoming deeply skilled in one area. For those who have gone through a similar pivot, how did you identify the right specialization, and what steps did you take to test the waters before committing?
