• Generalist to specialist, or stay broad?

  Four years as a generalist. Starting to feel like I should pick a lane (comp, TA, HRBP) to keep growing, but I'd lose the variety I actually like about the job. How did you decide?

• The jump from generalist to comp specialist was mostly about asking for the work

  Nobody handed me a comp project — I asked to shadow the annual review cycle, then asked to own a piece of it the next year. Two years later it was my whole role. Specialization felt less like a credential and more like accumulated reps.
