Do you prefer to have a broad knowledge in lot of skills (or) relatively in-depth knowledge in a few skills.

I prefer the latter, as I think, it pays more.

I agree with the above being versatile and niche down as career matures

I prefer the former.. during these unstable job market it’s necessary to have knowledge on all skills at least at high level to secure your job and then deepen your knowledge in whichever skill you are valued for.

Although I do agree that niching down and honing a specific are of knowledge can lead to higher pay, I also think that there is a lot of value in being versatile. I guess I would value versatility more early on in my career since that allows me to see where I want to settle in but building expertise increases in priority as you have clear career path that you're set on.

I think it depends on the type of role you are aiming for. Management I would say is better to have broad knowledge. But if you are hoping to be in a specialized role, you should have an in-depth understating of that area.

Copywriter with serious imposter syndrome at new job! How do senior writers up their game? Was in-house 1.5 years and underpaid in NYC. With only previous freelance experience (and nonprofit and grant writing before that) figured I had to slog through it for years. Cut to now, 6 months into a new copywriting role at huge tech company. My salary almost quintupled overnight. I think I’m doing great, but that depends on the day and who I work with (no other writers by the way).
