How do I develop my career?

1. Should I become an SME? Or become a generalist? What will reap the maximum benefit in the long term?
2. Should I change jobs too often to succeed or should I try to leverage the connections that I have in the office?
3. How do I assess whether I am growing/learning in my company?
4. How do I have conversations with my manager?
5. How do I pick up signals that things are not going well?

There are numerous questions we have when we go to the office, and meet our colleagues and seniors in the firm. More often than not, we start feeling disgruntled the moment another guy from the team gets rewarded or promoted. How do we assess whether things are going "fine"? If you need answers to these questions, contact me! I have changed 8 companies in 17 years and I know exactly how it feels.
