Aaliya Khan - It's ok to be a generalist and not limit yourself to one path

Is it better to be a generalist or a specialist? Should you stick to one path and become an expert in it or give yourself the flexibility to explore many different options? This is something that's unique to everyone and the answer changes as we move through live.

Today's guest, Aaliya Khan, thought she was a specialist. She went to school to specialise in global medicine and health advocacy. But, as she puts it, she fell into tech and into Product Management. In this episode, Aaliya tells us how she found her feed at an early stage start-up where her role was constantly pivoting and how she learned to embrace flexibility amid chaos.

Key lessons from this episode

  1. How Aaliya fell into Product Management from a background in global health (4:00)
  2. Aaliya's experiences working at an early-stage startup and having to pivot her role many times (9:00)
  3. Push and advocate for yourself because you don't know what change that can have for the next person after you (37:00)
