one unconventional piece of advice is to focus on developing expertise in a niche area or industry that aligns with your passions and interests. While general project management skills are essential, having specialized knowledge can set you apart and open up unique opportunities.By focusing on a specialized niche, you not only differentiate yourself as a project manager but also become a valuable asset with in-depth knowledge and expertise that can drive success in specialized projects and industries.
