Azeem posted a Twitter poll a while back asking the digital marketing community if they prefer to specialize in a specific niche of marketing or be more of a generalist in their job. He asked “In today’s job market, would you rather be a specialist – focusing on one specific channel (i.e. PPC, SEO etc), or a generalist?”
About 60% of the 500 plus people who responded said they would prefer to specialize, whereas 40% said they would prefer to be a generalist.
Here is that poll:
Curious.
In today’s job market, would you rather be a specialist – focusing on one specific channel (i.e. PPC, SEO etc), or a generalist? (working on multiple channels)

This is a topic I spoke to John Shehata about a while back as well.
