Generalist vs specialist is sometimes a false dichotomy. You can be both! What gives specialists an advantage is their hyperfocus on one area, but to the detriment of other areas, so there is always that caveat.

Generalists can spread themselves thinly across disciplines and never hyperfocus, so again: another caveat. It depends on your situation whether you want to specialize or generalize, and this can be a case-by-case basis.
