[IxDA Discuss] Career: Deep vs Broad Experience

[Phil Chung]

A question for the more "experienced" folks on the list:

In terms of career advancement and job security, is it better for an interaction designer to develop deep or broad experience, in terms of product domains? For example, would you recommend spending twenty years working on one type of product (e.g., websites) or twenty years spread across mobile, games, web, software, voice, hardware, etc.?

Obviously, this depends largely on what your personal interests are, career goals, etc., but I am just curious what insights experience in this field (e.g., surviving the dot com bubble) has given to those who are further along in their careers than I am.

Thanks,
Phil
