How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I think the people who thrive in this industry are those who take the time to learn about other things, whether it's about the industry itself or not. Being insightful and able to connect different pieces of information is key.
You don't need to be an expert in every field, but having common knowledge in areas surrounding your own is beneficial. Stay informed and read about it, doing so outside of your work hours.
This way, people will see you as knowledgeable and a resource for help. They'll recognize that you've invested time in learning. I believe every day presents a learning opportunity.
I'm constantly learning, and I don't claim to know everything. I've never met anyone who does. So, continuous learning and being resourceful and insightful are what will help anyone thrive in any industry.
