In life, no matter the realm of human endeavor you traverse 3 skills must be enhanced. These skills are:
Writing
If you cannot articulate what you want to say to others, you must write more.
Reading
If you cannot comprehend what others are explaining, you must read more.
Speaking
Once you have begun to master the first two skills, you may speak more.
Hear me out, I recognize you may not want to.
Technical skills, while clearly required in the tech sector are a dime a dozen. Soft skills and the ability to communicate with others are rare. I have met entirely too many engineers and analysts that cannot hold a conversation, do not be that person.
If you desire to advance within your career strengthen your ability to write, read and speak. These are still skills that can always be improved, It is okay if you look dumb sometimes as long as you continue to push forward.
Soft skills are essential to your success. Go level up and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
As always. Stay curious my friends.
