Don't Be a Generalist or a Specialist When You Start as a PHP Developer

Most jobs will naturally encourage you to specialize because when you're new, you're not going to do contracting. If you like it and you believe that that's what makes you happy, then that's a great reason to stay. But if you're not intentional about whether you're a generalist or a specialist, you can just end up where your skill set doesn't match what you like. It's easier to figure out what you want to do and do it than figure out you didn't want to do the thing you're doing now.
